I am having difficulty with turbo pascal file handling. The following
always yields a run time error, and I can't figure out why!

program junk;

var log:    text;

begin
   assign(log,'z');
   reset(log);
   append(log);
   writeln(log,'hi there big guy!');
   close(log);
end.


this seems to open the file 'z' but always hits a run time error with
the close(log) line. I wrote another program that wrote to a file,
and used the same commands, and it worked fine. Help!
