No, no, your not dense at all! You've hit it right on the head! I think
that is what Nigel might have been saying under his breath - but I
shouldn't put words there. I thought I was being careful by checking
that the file was open before writing to it (or closing it when I'm
done.) I'm still banging my head against the images from a submarine
camera. It's one of the GUI things where the images are being collected
from a rolling tape at n second intervals. The user might want to pause
the collecting process to wait for a jelly fish to float past the
camera, swap tapes or who knows what? Your right, I'll just have to be
tight about programmatic control.

Cheers,
Ben
