ejecting a disk after using "the files" funtion

In the last edition of the Runtime Revolution Newsletter there was an  
article on “Listing and Sorting Files in Revolution”. The article  
included a demonstration stack “File Lister.rev”. I took that stack  
and wrote a snippet of code to save the file lists it creates. I have  
been trying to use it to catalog my back-up CDs. It works great for  
creating the file lists, but I have a problem: When I try to eject  
the CD I just cataloged so I can go to the next CD, I get this  
message, “The disk (here it puts the name of the disk,) is in use and  
could not be ejected.”

I find that if I then use the function “the files” on a different  
disk it allows me to eject the disk I just cataloged. How can I get  
the function “the files” to let go of me CD so I can eject it and go  
on to the next CD?

Thanks,
