Hello netlanders !

Recently I used 'v' in less (Atari version 1) to call the editor (uEmacs 3.9e)
and change a file. In ue I made the changes and left. But surprisingly
there were no changes visible in less. Why ?!

A look in the directory gave an explanation. The file existed twice with
the same name. Therefore less reads the first, ue edited the second.

I make GEMDOS responsible for this because of it's faulty file and 
device descriptor handling while pexecing.

Does anybody have concrete explanations/workarounds ?
