Here is the program src:

include get.e

object a
integer b, c
b = 0
b = open("c:\\euphoria\\code\\test.dat", "r")
c = open("c:\\euphoria\\code\\test.txt", "w")

a = gets(b)
puts(c, b)
close(b, c)
puts(1, "Done.\n")

Now, when I run it, i get this error:

read.ex:9
bad file number (-1)
-->see ex.err

Ok, ex.err:

Global & Local Variables

 C:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE\get.e:
    input_file = <no value>
    input_string = <no value>
    string_next = <no value>
    ungot_char = <no value>

 read.ex:
    a = <no value>
    b = -1
    c = 3


What did I do wrong, and can someone show me the correct way to
do read/write programs (simple ones like this.).  Thanks.
