    Question

    When openning file, we use the FreeFile function or if we are very lazy we just pick a number from 1 - 512.
    But....
    Beside keeping our file unique and protected,
    What does that number really means ?

    It gives the File an "Id Number". It also makes it possible to open more than 1 file at a time.

    Question Just wandering Megatron

    Ok the free file number ids files, and allows multiple files to be opened. But does the number relate to a position in memory or the FAT or something else?????

    Persumably when you open a file it resides in memory and the free file number is a shorthand pointer to that memory location. I could be completely mistaken about this of course, it was just a thought.
