Good. So we know that the program is executed.

So the next step is to find out why it isn't executed. First print the
working directory:
import os
print("Start")
print("working directory:", os.getcwd())
input(" Starter file")
then wrap the open in a try/except block:
try:
Starter = open("HLY-LOG5.txt","w")
except Exception as e:
print("Error: {e}")
input("End")
This should now tell you in which directory the program is actually
trying to create the file and why id didn't work.
