It is entirely implementation dependent. For instance, if you don't have some medium that will hold a .txt file, it's impossible. If you have a floppy, say, then you have to have circuits to connect to it and software to talk to it. That may seem silly, since they just magically appear, and work, on almost any desktop system you ever saw. Still, there you have it.
