filePro/email from Unix script file

[John Esak]

Hey Ken,
Somewhere in here you suggest testing if the file is zero length... I had to
do just that yesterday... EXISTS does not help, of course, so I had to open
the file and use FILESIZE().... any chance of adding a parameter to EXISTS
that will return the size as well as the "exists/yes-no"? If so, I'll submit
it as a wish-list itme.
John
