Ken, I don't think you would be alone there. Have you thought of using
HPFOPEN instead of FOPEN. It is the NM equivalent of FOPEN. The good thing
is it doesn't have the aoptions, and foptions. Instead it uses item numbers,
and corresponding values to decide how to open a file. Have a look at the
Intrinsics manual.
