2.15 fopen

fopen <file> [,$ \{$"append" | "overwrite"$\} $]


This command allows the user to open a file for reading and writing using the commands 'fget' and 'fput'. The first argument is the file name. The default is that existing files will be overwritten if 'fput' is used. Alternatively one can append data to a file by specifying the optional parameter "append".
