Yes - actually.  I believe the program was never getting to my close
statement since I would do a Control-Reset after a few moments when
nothing would happen.  It is possible that after the first couple of
times (or maybe even the first time) the files were still open and
the program tried to allocate new buffers.  As I'd said - the program
would sometimes do nothing and sometimes give the NO BUFFERS message.
Extremely frustrating.  I would have thought Applesoft would have
cleared out(or closed out) all files when you started running a program.
Guess not. :/

PS:I know that under DOS 3.3 Applesoft didn't close out files, but I
thought that under ProDOS they had fixed that problem.  Guess not huh?
Duhhhhhhhhhh. :(
