Richmond,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I perfectly understand what happens, but my point is :
why is it so ? What is the logic behind ?
Is it specific to LC of is it closely related to the different OSes
on which LC runs ?
Why the fact of closing then reopening a file leads to overwriting
its content ?
Its held over from deep dark history. Open file meant the operator should find
the tape and mount it on the drive. Close file meant the tape would be rewound
so the operator could take it off the drive and put it away.

What is wrong with tape drives? Trying to fit one in my Linux box as I
write this . . . LOL
