CFile:new
The new method creates an instance of the CFile class. Your code must assign this reference to a name (see below) to allow you to work with the class. If the object cannot be created, the value nil is returned.
Note: This method's name uses all lower case to present it as the analog of the C++ new operator. Generally, the names of class methods begin with an uppercase letter but new and delete are different.

-- other uses of the class go here, between new() and delete(). |
