	Does anyone know of a way to get Lotus to stop reading from
a file at EOF and not read the garbage after it. Lotus warns the user
that the file pointer can be positioned past EOF and since {filesize}
does not take care of reading past EOF, is there a way within Lotus to
remedy this? If not I know a executable file to copy the file will take
care of the problem, however, when writing macros to automate a system
this can be a tremendous pain since you must go outside of lotus 
{/System}, execute either a batch file or an .exe file and then return
to lotus. However, if you had wanted to use {/0} to start say a menu
macro upon entering the worksheet this CAN'T be done. Therefore, it 
would have to be done before entering Lotus.

	Any suggestions???
