Cron Jobs?

Hiya,

anyone can tell me what the difference is between:

pico crontab

adding:
0,15,30,45 * * * * lynx -dump http://www.site.com/path/phpscript.php

Save and exit file and:

pico cron.txt

0,15,30,45 * * * * lynx -dump http://www.site.com/path/phpscript.php

Save and exit file
crontab cron.txt

I know the later one works but what would the first one do? Adding a line directly to the crontab file?
