Simple:

Memo1.Lines.SaveToFile('/home/yourname/yourfile.txt');

And

Memo1.Lines.LoadFromFile('/home/yourname/yourfile.txt');

Again, simple:

1. use code completion. Type
Memo.
Normally, if you wait ater typing the dot, the list of available qualifiers 
will appear by itself after some time.

2. At least the published qualifiers are visible in the Object Inspector. 
They are accessible in code with exactly the same names.
