Hi Vernon,


Oh!  Don't forget to close() the file.  This actually is important,
because some operating systems will delay from actually writing the bits
to disk until the file is explicitely closed.


With the fix, your code might look like this:

###
f = open('C:/Python22/Tools/tmp/workfile.txt', 'w')
f.write('This is the first line of the file')
f.close()
###


Hope this fixes the problem!
