File units (de)allocation in IDL - what is the proper way? [message #93459]

Hello everyone,
when opening files to write outputs I usually do:

OPENW, unit1, 'file1.txt', /GET_LUN
OPENW, unit2, 'file2.txt', /GET_LUN
...
CLOSE, unit1
CLOSE, unit2

FREE_LUN, unit1
FREE_LUN, unit2

However, it seems that closing *and freeing* can be equally achieved with:

CLOSE, unit1, unit2, /ALL

Is this correct? Is there a best practice?
Thanks in advance.
Dave
