Subject: Re: prob with File.open and perms

pls ignore my post below. it's terrible. i should have deleted the outputted file before running the program again. 

nobu's post is the_ answer.

In this regard, may i suggest a feature for documenting methods

from File.new(filename [, mode [, perm]]) => file

to File.new(filename               => String 
            [, mode = File::WRONLY => Integer in File IO
            [, perm = 0644         => Integer in octal form]]
            ) 
            => file in IO

or something like that. A quick glance, we'd know more about the parameters..

sorry for the noise,
kind regards -botp
