But that's when the file's in input mode.

I think any files open in output mode, even if at the time nothings
being written to them, it'd devalidate.

Actually, lets have a quick test...

/Me loads up Basic

Open out 1,"Workbench:Test"
Print #1,"Hello World"

/Me turns power off.

Oh, everything still works, well I'm not complaining :) (I'm sure I
had a devalidation once when I had a file open like that and it
crashed, guess it must have been writing to it)

See ya :)
