Gary,

I can assure you that that's not the case.  (Of course, you're free to 
believe me or not believe me at your convenience.)  You are right that I 
don't have that file on the disk - it is supposed to be created with the 
"open" line!  It works *perfectly* outside the class the inherits from 
threading.Thread; inside the threading.Thread class it does NOT create 
the file, whether I use g = open(fileName, 'a') or g = open (fileName, 
'w').  Hence my obvious confusion.
