FILE CLOSE Option
You use the FILE CLOSE filename command to close the named
auxiliary file. You must issue separate FILE CLOSE commands for each
file you have opened. If the file was opened for writing, TFORM writes
an end-of-file mark before closing the file. If the file wasn’t open,
TFORM ignores the command.
This FILE WRITE series writes to a GLOSSARY file
\FILE OPEN GLOSSARY WRITE
