File close error

[Charles Seman]

John,

I've made the mistake of trying to close a file # other than the last
one opened... so the files must be closed in reverse numerical order...
for example, if files 1, 2, 3 were opened, then they must be closed as
3, 2, 1... (in a script: 'close 3' ; 'close 2' ; 'close 1').

I hope this helps,
Chuck
