I want to put a program in a string. How would I do that. The programs 40 lines long.

You can use the fs API to read files.

local programname = 'your_program_name'
local content

local file = fs.open(programname)
if file then
  content = fs.readAll()
  file.close()
end

In this example, the program is stored in the variable content.

The program will be a client api. Can the other person on a server access my files. Anyway is it possible to put multiple lines in a string. I would like to have a program server maybe.

I figured out the multi line integar but my other question still remains. Can other people save or edit files on my computer or only on theirs?

They can easily save and edit files on your computer, but only while ON your computer. They can't do it from their own computer; you would need to set up sort of an FTP server to do that. There are plenty of FTP programs on the forums, if you search around a bit.
