Shutfile
~~~~~~~~
        Shutfile allows you to close a named file (if the file is open more than
once, each 'handle' will be closed).  Without any arguments, shutfile gives a
list of all the open file handles, and the file associated with them.  The
arguments should be valid pathnames, and will be canonicalised.

        Syntax: Shutfile {<pathname>}
        egs:
                *shutfile %.fred        close 'fred' in the current library
                *shutfile tim*          close 'tim*' in the CSD (NB: only the
                                        first tim* matched is closed)
                *shutfile               display all open file names/handles
                *shutfile root:fred jim:sheila
                *shutfile <wimp$scrap>

        You may also specify file handles by number by prefixing them with
a #, eg:
                *shutfile #237
                *shutfile #&ff #&fe
                *shutfile #0            NB: do not do this! It will close /all/
                                        open files. This is a BAD thing.
