But it doesn't close the file. And there is no way to close it after

in most cases, not closing the stream is not a problem as ooRexx will do

Yes, that is the beauty of cascading messages! However, the file needs to be closed (e.g. if one
wishes to replace it later) which is not possible in the same line, rather

First let me offer the following way to write the contents of an array
to a stream that only requires a single line:
.stream~new(streamFileName)~~arrayOut(arr [,Lines|Chars])~close
Unfortunately, there is no corresponding "one-liner" for reading the
contents of a stream into an array. This l
The Stream class has the handy instance methods arrayIn and arrayOut.
To read the content of a stream into an array the following statements are
necessary:
s=.stream~new(streamFileName)
s~open( [read|both] )
arr=s~arrayIn( [Lines|Chars] )
s~close
To write the content of an array in
