Is it true that INFILEP on a {FLOPPY} breaks if no floppy in drive?  Surely this is a bug; it should quietly return NIL.'

When Lafite initializes and there is a floppy mail file in the Lafite.profile, Lafite dies if the floppy is not in the floppy drive. I suggest that in this situation, Lafite should not die, but should gracefully inform the user and then take that mail file out of the Lafite.profile.'
