   The code is from an installer app that goes back to the earliest days   
   of DX-Forth.  I never had reason to extend its file handling.   
      
   BTW 99% of apps I write still only require one input and one output   
   file, in which case only two handles are needed.  I have a library for   
   that which allows more handles to be created if need be.
