Open:
, New:
syntax
New
Open {file}
If open does not have an argument, then it creates an ampty viewer, otherwise it opens a viewer on the file file.  There is a list of extensions that are tried. See the documentation for the User.profile (I think).
 
 
description
Open a tioga viewer on a file or create an empty tioga viewer. 
 
examples
% Open xxx.mesa
% 
% New
% 
 
warnings
At this writing, Open does not correctly handle the working directory, so if you want a viewer opened on a file that is not in the default working directory, then you must use a full path name.
 
stop/undo 
Unknown, control is inside Tioga most of the time.
 
implementation 
InitialCommandsImpl.mesa in CommandTool.df
