Category TCL
Type Verb
Description creates or updates the synonym-defining item called "qfile" in the md of the current account.

This provides access to the specified filename in the specified account.name by using the filename, "qfile", in place of the filename parameter during any file-handling commands.

Each time "set-file" is invoked, it overwrites the previous "q-pointer".

In D3, the same functionality may be achieved using "pathnames". See "file.reference".
