COMMAND: EMPTY (Empty File) DOCUMENTATION : None
FUNCTION: Removes data from a file but does not delete the file.
FORMAT: EMPTY
TYPE: Public domain software (D.N. Ikle,1671 Newport,Denver,CO 80220)
REMARKS: EMPTY works interactively and prompts for the fully qualified name
of the file to be emptied. EMPTY uses the OPEN and CLOSE statements
in BASIC to open the specified file for output and then to
immediately close it. This effectively erases the contents of the
file without deleting the file itself. The file length is reduced
to 1 byte. If the specified file does not exist it will be created.
