i have read it and the source in the .inc file as well... it indicates that, on 
the windows platform, a call like FileIsExecutable("foo.txt") would return true 
if "foo.txt" exists in the current directory... but this is incorrect because a 
.txt file is not executable :? and what if "foo.txt" is a directory? :?

no matter... at least there is something there to try to determine this 
functionality... i'll dig thru my source code archives and see if i can locate 
something with a li'l more meat on it's bones that i can offer for contribution ;)
