Description:
    - This script merges all '.txt' files in the current working directory into a single saved file.

Requirements:
    - Python 3.x
    - os module

Functions:
    - merge_files(input_folder, output_file):
        Merges all '.txt' files found in the specified input folder into the given output file.

Usage:
    - Ensure Python 3.x is installed.
    - Place this script in the directory containing the '.txt' files to be merged.
    - Run the script. It will create a file named 'merged.txt' containing the merged content.

Additional Notes:
    - The merged output file will be saved in the same directory as this script.
    - Subdirectories within the current working directory are not searched; only files directly within it are merged.
