/*-----
contract: write_to_looky: string -> void

purpose: expects a string, and returns nothing,
	 but it has the side-effect of writing that
	 string to the file in the current working
	 directory named looky.txt (nuking whatever
	 previous contents it had)

examples:
    If I call:

    write_to_looky("Hi there! Lookit me!!");

    ...this should have the side effect of causing the
    file in the current directory named looky.txt to
    contain:
Hi there! Lookit me!!
