strange thing happening....file_save is not overwriting...help file says it should.

n = FILE_Save(APP_SCRIPTPATH & "test.txt", out_string)

the above is the lat line of the script function.
the help file says:

quote
If FileName already exists, FileName will be deleted before writing StringBuffer
/quote

that is not happening for me. the string is appended (added to) the file at the bottom.
I expected the file to be over written. the system pauses for 2 seconds during the file write, seemed odd for 10 lines of text, but not critical.

I was running in debug. i also tried just executing the script also.
I deleted the file. ran the script 2 times.
windows 10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
made an example


calling "save_file" while inside include file will append the text to the file..
calling "save_file" from the main script file will overwrite the file
I commented the code in main file and ran the function 2 times, it adds to file
I un-commented code and commented function and ran 2 times. it over writes.
pausing in between to the 2 writes a few seconds.
code in the include file is inside function. code in main script file is not in a function.

USES "FILE"

Dim FileHandle As DWORD
Dim Status     As DWORD
Dim TestString As String
Dim FileName   As String 
Dim sMsg       As String

TestString = "1234567890ABCDEF"           ' String to write to file
FileName   = APP_SCRIPTPATH + "test.txt"  ' Build filename

Status     = FILE_SAVE(FileName, TestString)   ' Save string to File
