Why does the "small amount of code" matter? I've used Scott's tutorial to excellent results in the few instances that I've needed to use the non-QSYS portion of the IFS (aka stream files, etc.).

Agreed. So when we talk about " Writing to the IFS" we are referring to going from the i not writing Data from the PC to the i?
In this reagrd, is there any code I can see that writes to the IFS from the i?
I have seen some of Scott Klements work but the IFS Tutotial while is excellent has just a small amount of code.

Everything Rob and I were just talking about is on the PC - nothing on
the i - so neither CL nor RPG. We are talking about automatic conversion
when opening an i physical file member using Notepad or some other
Windows application. So I guess I'm getting confused - not surprising
today!
I did try opening a non-source PF member - got same thing as Rob. Tried
to open a user space after putting an appopriate extension in - it did
not get converted.
The waters are getting murky!! And it's only the first work day of the
new year!!

That only works for source physical files. I want data physical files.
