Feels great when you finally solve a nagging problem like that, eh?

The aspect that stumped me was that the file should have gotten closed 
when the activation group ended. But I think the red herring here is 
that the first program used the default activation group, and the normal 
rules don't quite apply when that's involved. Best to keep well away 
from the default activation group once you're into true ILE programming.

Anyways, I hope you're not advocating keeping business logic and display 
logic together. If anything, perhaps one problem here is that they 
weren't separated enough!

Now, on to the next impossible problem! ;-)
