SHUT _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ command

The shut command closes output files.

syntax:

shut<filename>{,<filename>}*

<filename> must have been a file opened by out.

A file that has been opened by out must be shut before it is brought in by in. Files that have been opened by out should always be shut before the end of the REDUCE session, to avoid either loss of information or the printing of extraneous information into the file. In most systems, terminating a session by bye closes all open output files.
