Swifty

I have a game program running that saves player data at reqular intervals, this is data that would be used in later sessions.

An issue I have run into is that with the save function active , Task Manager shows memory usage increasing, which I believe is a memory leak symptom.

Am I opening and closing the file correctly...?

dir$="players\"+p\user$+"\"+p\name$+"\cords.dat"
fileout=WriteFile(dir$)
WriteString(fileout,p\cord$)
CloseFile(fileout)

dir$=""
fileout=0

Any help on why memory use would increase by using this function would be welcome.
