     You can open your own pseudofiles. They are especially useful with
     macros or PWB extensions.
     See: Pseudofile Naming Convention
 
     To create a new, untitled pseudofile:
 
       ■  From the File menu, choose New or execute Newfile («newfile»).
 
     To open a named pseudofile:
 
       ■  From the File menu, choose Open and turn on the Pseudofile
          check box, or execute Arg <name> Openfile («arg» name «openfile»).
 
          The name you specify is both the title and the bracketed name
          of the pseudofile. If you specify 'test', the full pseudofile
          name is '<test>test'.
 
        ■ Pass the full pseudofile name to the Openfile («openfile») or
          Setfile («setfile») functions.
