I want to modify an existing stack (a text indexing program by Mark Zimmerman)
which allows a user to select a file to open through a standard dialog box to 
automatically open a pre-defined file. -- I want it to open and return
the ref. num to a certain file without the user picking anything.

Does anyone know of an XFCN which takes a filename as a parameter, and opens
that file and returns the ref. num?

--Thanx
