Ahhh - I see.  To me, the simulation "session" starts each time I reset the simulation time to '0' (when I issue a "restart" command in Modelsim).

So with your way of thinking, if STD_OUTPUT was opened in APPEND_MODE, then each time you closed and the reopened your simulator you'd see the end of the previous simulation session, and you wouldn't want that. (Nor would I... I think)

In which case, what we are differing over is not how the files/streams/windows work, but what the definition of a simulation session is... I wonder, does the standard say anything about that?

Cheers,
Martin
