Bernie,
If there are no other files open, you should get 3.
I have programs which open and close 4 or 5 files hundreds of times each day.
These have been working without fail since November, so I doubt there is
anything flakey about Euphoria's file handling. In fact, the sys admin at the
place where this program is running commented on the excellent stability just
this week. Maybe you need to check your code again.
