Wire up TO FILE for both LIST and DISPLAY: __dbList grows a 9th
parameter cFile, opens it (truncating any prior content) when non-
empty, and writes the formatted rows there via fmt.Fprintln. Default
behavior (no TO FILE) still goes to stdout.
std.ch gets two new rules placed *before* the regular LIST/DISPLAY
patterns so they win when TO FILE is present:
LIST [<v,...>] TO FILE <(f)> [OFF] [FOR] [WHILE] [NEXT] ...
DISPLAY [<v,...>] TO FILE <(f)> [OFF] [FOR] [WHILE] [NEXT] ...
Open failure raises a clear *HbError ("LIST/DISPLAY TO FILE: cannot
create <path> — <syscall reason>") so callers know exactly what went
wrong instead of getting partial-or-empty output.
TO PRINTER stays rejected via __dbNotImpl — Five doesn't drive a
printer port. Test coverage: tests/std_ch/test_list_to_file.prg
exercises four shapes (full LIST, single-row DISPLAY, OFF + FOR with
explicit fields, and confirms TO PRINTER still raises). Wired into
the std.ch runner so the regression suite now stands at 14/14.

Three audit findings around polish + a release-readiness commit:
* #UX1 LIST/DISPLAY output: dropped \r\n (unix terminals showed a
stray ^M), moved the newline to AFTER each row (no more leading
blank line), and added the `*` deleted-record marker after the
record number — matches xBase LIST/DISPLAY convention. With
SET DELETED ON the marker is unreachable since the row would
have been skipped at Area.Skip level; with SET DELETED OFF the
user now sees which rows are tombstoned.
* #26 temp aliases: `__copytmp` / `__sorttmp` / `__totaltmp` /
`__jointmp` were process-global string constants. A nested
invocation (e.g., COPY inside a FOR clause whose expression
runs another COPY) collided on the alias and the inner Open
failed with "alias already in use" — surfacing as `.F.` with
no clear cause. Each Open now goes through a new helper
`nextTmpAlias(prefix)` backed by an atomic counter, so every
call gets `__copytmp_1`, `__copytmp_2`, etc. — no collisions.
* #J test coverage gap: the 13 std.ch regression tests were all
sitting in `/tmp` — lost on tmpfs reboot, never in git, never
in CI. Move them into `tests/std_ch/` and add a simple
`run.sh` runner that builds + executes each one in a temp
scratch directory and grep-asserts on FAIL / NOT REJECTED /
expectation-mismatch markers. 13/13 pass against the current
head:
PASS test_pp_stdch PASS test_count
PASS test_sum_avg PASS test_sum_multi
PASS test_copy PASS test_sort
PASS test_list PASS test_total
PASS test_join PASS test_update
PASS test_set_deleted PASS test_unsupported
PASS test_block_comma
test_block_comma in particular guards the gengo SeqExpr fix
from Wave 1 — without it the comma-in-block miscompile would
silently come back.
