I didn't know opening a file for writing in one app (Textpad) would allow another app (Euphoria) to be reading that file. So opening for a write doesn't lock that file, even tho i get a "that file is in use by another application" error fairly often? And apparently, a file open for reading (Euphoria) doesn't stop it being written to (Textpad)?

What I think is going on is that the write happens during the read. As soon as textpad writes out the file, I suspect that euphoria starts reading from the beginning again. Assuming we change the way we open the file, you should get an error from Textpad in the future, saying that it can't access that file.
