   	Thank you. Wordpad is quite unaware of the file once it has   
   opened it. It doesn't lock it, it keeps it in memory. You can even   
   delete the file you are editing and wordpad will carry on as if it's   
   still there.   
   	If you try to re-load a changed file, it will load the one in   
   memory , not the changed one on disk. I'd consider using another   
   editor.   
      
   	Atlantis will lock the file, and not allow your program to   
   write to it. Notepad++ will ask you if you want to reload the changed   
   file or keep the file in memory(unchanged). If you "save", the one on   
   disk will be overwritten.   
      
   	Still not sure what you are trying to do.
