Its finally working!
I never thought that the files would need that extra
comma to work. IMHO its may be easier for
a starter (simply append to file with Data+",") but
I think it would make more sense if defined(File)
would return false if no data follows, not if no
data follows after a comma.
Ah well. It was probably thought of some long time
ago, and I don't want to start a debate about such
small things.

But some note in the docs would perhaps be of some
help? Ingo?

Regards,

Tim
