[Spellman]

To create a blank file you just need to use the open command

Open pathname & filename for append as filenumber

If the file does not exist then it will create the file for you. To check to see if the file exists use the dir function with the full path and file name e.g.

Dir(filename)

if the file exists the filename will be returned if it does not then an empty string is returned.
