LC's result will tell you only the general fact that a file I/O
operation failed, but not why.
The syserror() function will tell you why, delivering the specific
integer code for the error the OS reported back to LC.
Establishing a habit of always including a call to sysError when
reporting a non-empty result will save you countless hours of diagnostic
time, e.g.:
delete file tFile
if the result is not empty then
answer the result &" ("& sysError() &")"
end if
