The manual sucks, and it doesn't explain any of the OS commands. You need
to get the RKRMs and the OS Autodocs (well, Includes & Autodocs) for the
full set of documentation.

They're the input and output file handles for the program. For example,
you could open up a new shell window for the program you are going to
execute, you would then pass the file handle for that shell window to the
Execute_ command.
