May be I am myopic, but I have not found any tools in the docs to check whether a port is open or closed. After a port is closed, it may survive. It would be handy to have: 1: a procedure that tells whether or not a port is open. 2: a procedure that given a closed port, reopens it or returns its path (or other info about the port, for example, it may be an output-string or a console) This can be useful for procedures that accept port arguments and want to check first. Using some tricks I can make these procedures myself in a rather stupid way that I rather would like to avoid (writing the port to an output-string and inspect the output and displaying an empty string while catching a port is closed exception) Best wishes, Jos
