Re: fileIO writeString()

[Irv Kalb]

Unless the Lingo documentation explicitly says differently, all Lingo 
calls are "synchronous" - which means that your program waits there 
until the operation complete.

Examples of "asynchronous" calls are the netLingo calls like 
getNetText, postNetText, etc.

Hi all...

Quick question about the fileIO xtra:

Regarding writeString(), I'm using it to write out a pretty long string.
When the Lingo gets to that line of code, does code execution stop there
until the string is entirely written out, or does it proceed to execute
the next line of code while in the process of writing to the external
file?
And by the way, is there a string length limit?

Have a stupendous day!
