Depends upon your definition of "simple" :)

   fid := fopen (...

   if fid > 0 then
      begin
      fsetmode (fid, 1);

      if <> then
         ...failed to attach file to Serial
            Write Queue (aka "XM" when on MPE/iX)

Note: once attached, the file stays attached until it is
purged.  I.e., there's no non-priv way of detaching such a
file from the XM.

Our free XMONOFF program will detach a non-HFS file from XM.

Hmmm...XMONOFF will also attach a file for you, so you can
do it without programming :)
