The `exists` command performs no action except to return a status. If the file specified in its argument exists it returns success status, otherwise it returns severe status.

    Syntax : exists = "exists" s filename
    Example: exists test6.fw

This command is useful in regression testing for ensuring that FunnelWeb has produced a particular output file.
