Templates: Template to open file
1998-09-09 -- John Hickey
 
Newsgroups: topspeed.products.c4

Editors note:  Please note that some lines may wrap in the template code.

Here's one of those little Templates to make your lives easier :)

Save the code below as OPENCLS.TPL in your Template directory, and register
it.

This contains 2 Code templates you can add to the front and back of your
Source embed.  It will open all the files in your OTHER FILES listing and
then close all the files.  Your Source embeds might look like this:

Data Section
Processed Code
 -Open Files In Source Procedure
 -SOURCE
 -Clsoe Files In Source Procedure

Should work in both ABC and Legacy.... have fun!
