My apologies, the code for the throw was assumed. I've included it here.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

Maybe its simpler to show how I think it should be done.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
// Dear tutor, grill student re spoonfed solution from usenet.
try {
String name = StudentTextField.getText();
FileWriter swriter = new FileWriter("c:\\studname.txt",true);
PrintWriter outputFile= new PrintWriter(swriter);
outputFile.println(name);
outputFile.close();
FileWriter gwriter = new FileWriter("c:\\grades.txt",true);
PrintWriter outputFile2 = new PrintWriter(gwriter);
outputFile2.println("0,0,0");
outputFile2.close();
StudentTextField.setText("");
} catch (IOException x) {
System.out.println("Unable to add student - " + x.getMessage());
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame, x.getMessage, "AppName",
JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
System.exit(1);
}
}
Untested, caveat emptor.
