Ahhh, master - I missed fReset - or ReWrite/Append... :P

I'll have you know that I *am* writing simple text to files these days... and don't mind the [small,fun] jabs that are in your lessons... they REALLY gave me a better understanding of MPL and writing real-w0rld mods for my system.

Since, [and while we were still at it, even] I've had a lot of success using actual Pascal documentation - for larger questions, I can usually get from point A to point B with a little bit of wiggling around by using FP docs.
