     The Openfile function opens a file in a new window, ignoring the
     Newwindow switch.
     See: Newwindow
 
     Arg Openfile («arg» «openfile»)
          Opens the file at the cursor in a new window. The name of the
          file is specified by the text from the cursor to the first
          blank character.
 
     Arg <textarg> Openfile («arg» <textarg> «openfile»)
          Opens the specified file in a new window.
 
          If the argument is a wildcard, PWB creates a pseudofile
          containing a list of files that match the pattern. To open a
          file from this list, position the cursor at the beginning of
          the name and use Arg Openfile or Arg Setfile.
 
     Returns
 
     True:  File and window successfully opened.
     False: No argument specified, or file did not exist and you did
            not create it.
