Use @cmd{FILE HANDLE} to associate a file handle name with a file and
handle. It is required in all modes but SCRATCH mode, in which its
use is forbidden.
+The ENCODING subcommand specifies the encoding of text in the file.
+For reading text files in CHARACTER mode, all of the forms described
+for ENCODING on the INSERT command are supported (@pxref{INSERT}).
+For reading in other file-based modes, encoding autodetection is not
+supported; if the specified encoding requests autodetection then the
+default encoding will be used. This is also true when a file handle
+is used for writing a file in any mode.
