Version 1.0

Project Overview:

This Python-based text editor allows users to perform basic file operations such as:

1. Writing to a file
2. Appending text to an existing file
3. Reading the contents of a file
4. Renaming a file -> The program interacts with the user via a text-based menu and handles various file errors gracefully, providing informative messages when things go wrong (such as permission issues or missing files).

• Read from a File: Displays the content of an existing file.
• Rename a File: Allows users to rename an existing file.
