call "fpimport" (file is always locked) logtext locked

[John Esak]

I have to agree with Mark, here.  I have not used LOGTEXT since the first
time I wrote the same function with OPEN/WRITELINE/CLOSE... works just as
well and you can do the CLOSE. Funny, I thought there was a way to close the
logtext thing though.
