Hi ya'll, Actually I got this sorted out. There are some things about it I don't understand -- and I tried to open and close files to see what affect I could have and still don't understand some of it. But this program will cause a nice display of the situation, so since I typed it in I thought I'd share it back. Thanks!

I can see it on my system as of 6.0.12 but not at 5.1.27. Here is a snippet from "help system" 50 The UniBasic SYSTEM(50) function returns a list of files open in UniBasic as a dynamic array. The first field is multivalued, and contains the following information: Value 1 - The maximum number of files that can be opened system-wide. Value 2 - The current number of hashed files open in UniBasic. Value 3 - The current number of dynamic hashed files open in UniBasic. Value 4 - The current number of recoverable hashed files open in UniBasic. Value 5 - The current number of sequential and OS-level files open in UniBasic. Value 6 - The current number of index files open in UniBasic. Value 7 - The current number of temporarily closed files in UniBasic. This should give you everything that you need.
