You could examine the low-order two bits of FINFO("filename","intfopt") to
see whether it's temp or perm.  But note that "fmtfopt" doesn't tell you if
the file is temp!  This seems like a bug to me....

Or you could use 'exists' against a file equate, i.e.:

file filename,old
finfo("*filename","exists")

or

file filename,oldtemp
finfo("*filename","exists")
