BTW the Routes file has only comment lines; the "Run RouteD" tick box
is also unticked.
Andrew, please keep in mind that the Acorn RISC OS TCP/IP stack has been
derived from some flavour of BSD UNIX. Under all versions of UNIX (as an
OS, not as a BRAND) the common philosophy is: "Everything is 'file'". So
in this sense even writing to a (Unix) socket is writing to a 'file'.
Files under RISC OS are something else though. The Routes file you mention-
ed is a RISC OS file, that is a sequence of bytes written to a physically
present media, like a HardDisk or a FloppyDisk, not one that exists as a
(fictional) device in RAM, which will vanish when the computer is switched
off.
