Inputs

path	a pathname string
quot	a quotation with stack effect ( ... path -- ... )

Outputs

None

Word description

It is possible for the file to be created or deleted after the call to file-exists? but before running quot. If that is a concern, you might want to open the file for reading or writing, as needed.
