Hmm, you are correct Terry, i must have been confusing
file#write() and print() when i wrote all that nonsense.
Thanks for pointing out the error.

I'm wondering what she is expecting this line to do:
"print(linef).decode("utf-8","ignore")
My understanding is that print is a one way destination to a
stream, and the only return value would be the default None.
Urm, last time i got myself into trouble by not testing,
not letting that happen again! O:-)

None

'None'
Seems like she'd better do the decoding before printing, or
am i wrong again?
