BEFORE-OPEN	Called before a file is to be opened. Returning p_ok as FALSE cancels the operation.
BEFORE-RUN	Called before a file is written to disk for a run. Returning p_ok as FALSE cancels the operation.
BEFORE-SAVE	FALSE before a file is to be saved. Returning p_ok as FALSE cancels the operation.
