Correct. I was only considering situations following a non-blank Put. I just consider it to be very bad juju to write output without completing the line. I haven't checked recently, but it used to be that compiler run-times would not immediately read a partial/non-completed line. (The buffering is usually in the operating system. The real issue is that you can't close then reopen Current_Input in an immediate mode.)
