could the thing about "close"ing a file be something that's being influenced by culture?  If you think about what "closing a file" really is it's really more like "unloading a piece of computer memory".  I have no clue what the appropriate lojban for something like that would be, but it just seems like using "close" is malglico

I think so too.  I don't mind using the metaphor as long as it's marked as such.  How about something like "skami ganlo" or "samga'o"?
