When I use the "cp" command in SKSH 1.4 and the disk is almost full, the "cp"
command creates a file, tries to copy to it, finds out that the disk is full,
and leaves that file open (or active).  I cannot go back and delete it.  Has
this been fixed in 1.5?  In general, how do I force a "file in use" to be "not
in use" so that I can delete it, edit it, etc...  By the way, the AmigaDOS
"copy" command automatically deletes the file it creates if it cannot copy to
the file.
