Hi

I have little experience in Mathematica and I have trouble getting used 
to the Mathematica way of thinking.

I'm looking for a way to check if a given file exists. If it exists, I 
load its contents, if not I have to start a block of calculations.

I just can't find the function to check the existence of a file!

Thanks
Tom
