Hi Listers,
Okay I find the number 623 very deceiving when I see a file that has no
information in it listed with this number. I see this number when I ask of the
file information in a file that has no characters in it. This seems weird to
me. Why would the BN say 623 if there are clearly no characters in a file? I'm
talking about files that are essetially empty when you go into the file manager
mening and ask for information about these files. It just seems wrong. It
should say 0 at this time if there are clearly no characters in the file. I
find it deceiving because when you are looking for a file and you know it was
supposed to have information in it and you get this number 623 you think oh the
file does have something in it? I find this to be a cruel trick. The rson is
since I have lost this file and I created the new one with the old file name I
went to the file mager mening with some hope of finding the file. When I saw
that number 623 with the information of the file not !
I thought good there must be some information in here. Of course when I
return to Key^. and find the file is empty because I have not rewritten my
documentation I feel like I have been deceived. Like I thought I had found my
missing file because to me the number 623 signals that there are 623 characters
in a file when in reality it means 0. There's a difference of 623 between 0
characters and 623 characters. Why does this exist? Maybe I'm the only person
bothered by this number. I would think others would have experienced my
confusion.
Thank you for your time and your help.
Maybe the number 623 is there for a valid reason. If so I'd like to know that
reason.
