When you puts() to the screen it gets written right away.
When you puts() to a file, it gets written to a buffer in memory.
When the buffer gets full (about 8k bytes I think), the whole
8K gets written to disk and the buffer is reset.
You can force the data to disk by calling flush(), or close().
When the interpreter terminates, it calls close() for you.
If the interpreter is terminated prematurely, the buffer won't
be written out. Euphoria-reported errors such as
subscript out of bounds are ok, but O/S-reported
errors and CauseWay errors (on DOS) could leave
you with up to 8K of data missing. This often means
that a file you were writing is 0-bytes on disk.
