No examples has been presented until now, but I've just constructed it this 
way:

fileexist(name)=\
system(sprintf("bash -c \"if [ -a %s ]; then echo 1; else echo 0; fi\"", name))

print fileexist('a')
print fileexist('aa')

Any better solution?
(There could be one with "REXX support" patch going into gnuplot...)
