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.
