I'M NEED HELP WITH WRITING A FILE IN THINK PASCAL 3.0.
I OPEN THE FILE WITH OPEN(F, TITLE). F IS DEFINED AS A FILE OF INTEGERS. MY
PROBLEM IS WITH THE TITLE. I'VE DEFINED IT AS A STRING IN THE VAR SECTION AND
THE PROGRAM COMPLIES O.K. BUT I GET A OPER SYS ERROR #-37:BAD NAME(I THINK).
WHAT ARE THE VALID SYNTAX FOR THIS TITLE. I'M RUNNING SYS 6.70 ON A MAC SE
WITH 1 MB. I'M NEW TO THE MAC WORLD--MY IGNORANCE IS A HINDERANCE. I WOULD
APPPRECIATE ANY HELP. THANKS.

open only works if the file already exists. If you are wrting the file, it probably doesn't exist. Try 'rewrite' instead. mkd
