I just read section 12.1 "Ports" which says close is necessary "to release low-level resources associated with the port." I should have also read section 12.1.3 "Port Buffers and Positions" in the reference. Perhaps section 12.1 would be improved by adding a mention of buffer flushing to the description of close? My previous experience with output ports used "call-with-output-file" which implicitly closes the port, so I have at least some excuse for my ignorance :-) Best regards, -Steve -- Steve Byan <[email protected]> Littleton, MA 01460
