Reading files and memory

[Gregory Lypny]

Hello Everyone,

	I recently learned from Xavier that using Open File for Read and the 
Read command places less demand on memory than Put url ("file:" etc...) 
because the latter reads the entire file into memory.

	Is the same true when writing data to a file?  I mean, is it better to 
use

		Open File X for write
		Write etc.
		Close file X

	than

		Put stuff after url ("file:" & X) ?

		Regards,
