Yup, I said "function 40h".  I just checked again, and my 3.2 DOS tech ref
says CX=0 will truncate the file for BOTH functions 40h (Write To File or
Device) and function 28h (Random Block Write).

Aside: is it coincidental that the two file-write functions are numbered
28h and 40h?  (28 hex = 40 dec).
