Thanks!  I've experienced comparable behavior in returning
values from the File.open block... which led to my question
about whether the statement in ri and Pickaxe about File.open
returning nil when a block is given, is correct?

It would seem not, but I didn't want to rule out the possibility
I misunderstood what was meant by that sentence in Pickaxe...


Thanks,

Bill
