Here is a chart I made up to help.  Lately, though, I've been using HPFOPEN
item 52, where you can use file equation syntax.

Notice that since not all options are mutually exclusive (w.r.t. octal
digits), a plus sign means that you add the number to that digit.

FOPTIONS
     -- Most significant octal digit
  00=std  04=ksam  10=RIO  14=KSAMXL  20=CIR  24=SPOOL  30=MSG (+2=No :FILE)
   0=fixed 1=Variable 2=Undef           +4=CCTL
   0=actual name   1=STDLIST 2=NEWPASS 3=OLDPASS 4=STDIN 5=STDINX 6=NULL
   0=new  1=old  2=temp  3=temp or old         +4=ASCII
     -- Least significant octal digit

AOPTIONS
     -- Most significant octal digit
  0  1=COPY
  0  1=multi  2=gmulti    +4=NOWAIT
  0=defaultshare 1=exclusive  2=semi  3=shr     +4=NOBUF
  0  +2=Multi-record  +4=Lock
  0=read  1=write  2=write-save (OUTKEEP)  3=append  4=R/W  5=update
     -- Least significant octal digit
