Problems with Write to File in WIndows?

[Bob Sneidar]

Hmmm… belay my last. This is a Windows Server 2016 display bug. All afternoon yesterday I checked for the exiastence of the files in an Explorer window and they didn’t appear, even after several refresh requests. This morning I looked and there they were!
