the Dir$ function Returns the name of a file matching a filespec.  if the
filespec is a filename without wildcards, it returns whether or not the file
exists.
Here's what I do:

const False = 0
Const True = Not False

Function Exists(Filespec$)
	if Dir$(FileSpec$) <> "" then
		Exists = True
		Exit Function
	else
		Exists = False
	end if
End Function
