+======Synopsis:======
+$__fsize__(%%<file>%%)
+$__fsize__("" %%<file>%%)
+======Technical:======
+   * The %%<file>%% argument is a [[what is a word|dword]] which is different fr
+om most function arguments.
+   * In the first case, %%<file>%% is a single extended word (you may surround it with double quotes if it contains spaces).  Any further arguments are ignored.
+   * In the second case, the first argument is an empty string, and the rest of the arguments are taken as a filename literally.  Do not backslash or double quote anything in %%<file>%%.
+   * Tile-expansion is supported in both forms.
+   * If %%<file>%% exists, the file's size is returned.  If %%<file>%% is a symbolic link, the size of the file %%<file>%% points to is returned.
+   * If %%<file>%% does not exist, or it is a symbolic link and the file it links to does not exist, -1 is returned.
+======Practical:======
+This function returns the size of %%<file>%%.  This can be useful for seeing
+if a file exists, but has a zero length.
+======Returns:======
+<file>
+  -1   file does not exists, or no read access
+> -1   size of file
+</file>
+======History:======
+This function first appeared in EPIC3pre7.
