Hmm.  What do you see in response to the initial outfile command?
Given the script

open data4-10
outfile null --write
print 1 2 3 4
outfile --close

I'm getting:

? outfile null --write
Now discarding output
Closed output file 'null'
Done

The key is "Now discarding output": if you see that, no file has 
been opened.
