Also, putting an open statement in the heading would never get executed 
unless print output was created - and print output may be created long after 
you try writing to a flat file that you wanted open.

Don't put an open statement in the HEADING unless you want it to execute at
the beginning of every page you print.  I'm not sure what happens when you
try to open a file that's already open.  Maybe nothing, or maybe it deletes
whatever you've written before and starts over.

Add a "status=#open_status" clause to the open statement and test the value
of #open_status.  If it isn't 0, then your attempt to open the file didn't
work.  Why?  You might not be logged in to that drive, or the path in
$full_name might not exist, or you might not have write-access to it, or
there might already be a read-only file with that name.
