If a Desk Accessory has an open window (in my case looking down RS232)
and AES sends an AC_CLOSE, the window is closed. My DA must not call
a window close, it would close another window of the DESKTOP.
What about an open file? Is the file already closed when the AC_CLOSE
comes or have I to close it? And when may I reopen it?
I have an otherwise unused 520ST connected as printer at our X25 switch.
(ca. 150.000 Bytes/hour)
A Desk Accessory writes all data from RS232 to disk. Starting a new
file every hour. With an editor I open and close the older files.
That works fine.
According to what I read here, I fear that with TOS 1.4 my file will be
really closed. So I want to know what to do. I could leave the 520ST
as it is. But what is the correct method?
