## example showing file syscalls
# Create a file, open it for writing, write a character to it, close it, open
# it for reading, read a character from it, close it, delete it, and return
# the character read.
#
# To run:
#   $ subx translate ex8.subx ex8
#   $ subx run ex8
# Expected result:
#   $ echo $?
#   97
