Great -- works perfectly. I was daunted at the prospect of trying to
make a list into a file object because there are a lot of file object
methods that didn't make since to me in a list.  But from your
example, I see you don't need to do them all, just the ones that
DumbWriter requires .  And since the dumb writer is dumb, it doesn't
need many; just 'write'

Thanks,
