Reliably confirming a successful file save in Windows

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Steve,

In order to get a reliable value in the result function, the result  
*must* be tested immediately after the command:

save this stack
if the result <> empty then...

No code between these two lines. Never.
If you need it, you may write:

save this stack
put the result into tResult
<additional code>
if tResult <> empty then...
