in reply to Re(3):: opening new file in different directory
in thread opening new file in different directory

Same error as before, No such file or directory.

I left out the verbosity because (A) I haven't decided how to do it yet, so not sure what I have to put in my error string (B) $! points me to the line, which is all I need to know for now... and I know it well anyway, alas (C) I didn't want too much wrapping and (D) I guessed that nobody wd be copying my code since it's effectively labelled as broken.

Still, I know this is one of those points on which the monastery is rightly strict.... /me goes into the dungeon for a moment's mortification.
