I added a 'close' command and delete several records without an error.
Of course, I do not know if you are referring to possibly creating a
problem and causing a segmentation error down the road ... ???

Again, the close command closes the alias not a record.  'delete' deletes 
a record, not the alias (which would be the file itself).

I am not sure I can agree with your assessment but sure is interesting.
Perhaps Ken could provide a more in depth explanation.
