Obey & CR

I added the extra line to PlingBoot.!Run to run harinezumi a while back, commenting out rather than replacing the original line to allow for an easy switch back. Trying to do so, I discovered the file wouldn’t re-save because it was open. Needed *close.

Is it expected behaviour that an Obey file won’t close if there’s a comment at the end, even if followed by an empty line?

Yes, that is what happens. If the end (CR) of your Run line is not the end of the file, it is anticipating further commands after the application quits.

So it seems it is the blank line causing the problem. The last thing in the file needs to be . BTW beware of *close – it closes ALL files on the computer, including I suspect fonts.

*close closes all files on the current filing system

it is *shut that closes all files on all filing systems

*dont it’s dangerous

*close closes all files on the current filing system

Which if we’re talking about files inside !Boot, probably includes the fonts…

Presumably it’s Obey & LF?

My StopClose0 module will stop attempts to close all files by *Shut, *Close and variants. See website

If the end (CR) of your Run line is not the end of the file

It is the end of the file.

Yup. I wasn’t running anything else at the time. I tried CloseIt but the file was greyed & un-selectable.

In command terms a comment line IS an empty line and as others have stated the last line must be a command line.

ok
