FILEATTR(filenumber%,attribute%)

    ■ filenumber%    The number of an open file.
    ■ attribute%     Specifies the type of information to return. When
                     attribute% is 1, FILEATTR returns a value indicating
                     the file's access mode:

                     Value   Mode
                     ═════   ══════
                     1       Input
                     2       Output
                     4       Random
                     8       Append
                     32      Binary

                     When attribute% is 2, FILEATTR returns the DOS file
                     handle.

Example:
    OPEN "TEST.DAT" FOR BINARY AS #1
    PRINT FILEATTR(1, 1)
    CLOSE
