  (*
     Attempts to obtain and open a channel connected to a stored
     rewindable file of the given name.
     The write flag is implied; without the raw flag, text is
     implied.  If successful, assigns to cid the identity of
     the opened channel, assigns the value opened to res, and
     selects output mode, with the write position at the start
     of the file (i.e. the file is of zero length).
     If a channel cannot be opened as required, the value of
     res indicates the reason, and cid identifies the invalid
     channel.

     are implied; without the raw flag, text is implied.  If
     successful, assigns to cid the identity of the opened channel,
     assigns the value opened to res, and selects output mode,
     with the write position corresponding to the length of the
     file.  If a channel cannot be opened as required, the value
     of res indicates the reason, and cid identifies the invalid
     channel.

     sequential file, the exception wrongDevice is raised;

     insufficient permissions) neither input mode nor output
     mode is selected.

  (* If the channel identified by cid is not open to a
     rewindable sequential file, the exception wrongDevice is
