This function:
      .
∇ fso←{
{f}'f'⎕WC f←'OLECLIENT' 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'
}

ignores its argument and returns a "File System Object":
      obj←fso''

if you then type:
      obj.

autocomplete will give you an immense number of functions to experiment with that will let you do pretty much anything you want with files.

No doubt one of these clever people will give you something better using whatever "dot net" is but this does the trick for me.
