Checking for File Existence

Is there a way to check for file or directory existence prior to loading/reading/deleting/etc? I'd rather not shell out to an external command just for this. I can't find anything on this topic either in the docs or on the internet.

Thanks.

See the "there is" operator, e.g.:

if there is a file tFile then...

or

if there is a folder tFolder then...

Argh! Me thinks the simplicity of the language is givin' me scurvy!

Thank you so much. That makes a lot of sense.
