[REBOL] Changing a data in a file using open+change+close does no t work?

From: micael::gullmes::telenordia::se at: 31-Mar-2002 20:57

Hi all, 'close' does not always behave according to the rebolcore docs: Access to a port is terminated with the close function. All buffered data that has not been saved will be written to the target file. When I change data in a file and close it, the changes are not written to the file. Here is an example that does not work the way I want:
>> write %test1.txt "This is a test" >> a: open/lines %test1.txt >> first a
== "This is a test"
>> change first a "Is this"
== " a test"
>> first a
== "Is this a test"
>> close a >> print read %test1.txt
This is a test Does anyone have any hints? Brgds/Micael
