So you want to write to it and to create it if it doesn't exist (and it will
never exist because of the three lines above):

myFinger = Open User.Home &/ ".fprint/0002/00000000/1" For Write Create

Note the "Create" keyword at the end of the line. "For Write Create" will
also truncate the file to a size of 0 if it exists while opening so the If
clause before the Open statement is effectively useless.

You can find my explanation above in the documentation[0], too.

It seems that you are right with the first point, though. I couldn't find
any example of how to use files. I'll put that on my schedule...

Wait... You know that this is the gambas-user mailing list, no? By far most
attendees here can program in Gambas very well. Do you realise that you
asked for help and at the same time called us freaks? (Well you conditioned
that "freaks" by whether we can help you or not - which is IMHO even worse.)
