I was wondering if there is any way in Turbo Pascal to close all files that
have been opened during the execution of a program.  (i.e., there are a lot
in this program opened for different purposes).  I know there is the provision
that all files will be closed once program execution has ended, but is there
any way to do this during run-time?

In experimenting with this it seems you can open the same file multiple times.
(which means eventually there are too many files for DOS to handle)
Is this true, and if so, what is the original purpose?
