Poll question: How many languages do you speak fluently?
OK, be honest now... "hinky dinky parlay-voo" and "el burrito grande" don't count for fluency

9. I was fluent in three aside from English.

17. File commands
OPEN

EXTEND

MERGE

You could also obtain interesting results with ENTRY, which according to the manual (which I have in front of me, this being my day job) "establishes an alternate entry point."

For more detailed instructions, see INSPECT and PERFORM.

26. I voted two...English, and French...
But the French doesn't get anywhere close to good until I've been in France for several days with nothing but French spoken to me by whoever I meet...It's buried deeply, but it does re-emerge after those conditions are met...
