Question about Text.open commands about de-re-basic

[jMarcS]

1. I tried "text.open r,f,"fred.txt" - trying to read a non-existent file. It should have set f to -1 and continue. Instead it died with a runtime error: "Error: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0". That really doesn't seem right.

2. Again, by experiment:

• opening a file for append that does not exist creates an empty file.
• opening a file for write that already exists deletes the contents of the file; that is, it replaces the existing file with a new, empty one.

I added words in #2, as indicated.

But it seems like #1 is still an open issue, if it doesn't work as the manual says it should.

[jMarcS]

Right. I thought I just go in and fix it so the code does what the manual says, but it turns out there are other similar cases. I've open a code bug issue for it (Basic #49). Until that's closed, I think we should just leave this one open.

[jMarcS]

I'm committing changes to close Basic #49. Both TEXT.OPEN and BYTE.OPEN now return -1 if the file does not exist. The manual is correct.
