read key craziness!!!

[Ben]

In a previous version of LV the boolean was labeled such that it implied True (had a "T" in the label) but the VI had false as the actual constant.

THat burned me once and now I always wire it because I work with so many different version of LV. Sure in the newer version its not required but it also does not hurt. In the older versions, it did hurt.*

So it just a "better safe than sorry" habit.

* I have a similar habit with the "Delete from array" because there was a bug that would cause LV to leak memory if the "deleted" elements was not wired to anything. Since then LV has been fixed but old habit die hard.

Well if my bug story is true, it applies to something prior to LV 6.1

LV 6.1 was default of "F"

In LV 7.0 it was changed to "T".

Regardless of defaults, you don't need to write to a file to read values from it.
