i was leaning on the op's example... :)  For the record, when it comes
to file handling, i do not even do shortcuts ;)

i think i have a question for you, cool ruby hacker robert:
if  i do something like,

    File.open(foo).each do
       blah
    end

will ruby be able to cleanup the orphaned file handle?

i am not a fan of foreach because i do not like the method name as
used... it's like saying "for each file"??
but that is just me...
