Then it will open a blank document called fu.txt and the careless user will
figure out they typed it wrong

I've been using text editors and word processors from the command line for 40
years, and they have all created an empty file of the requested name, which is
why I expected lowriter to do the same. If libreoffice wants to be bizarre and
awkward, apparently with no reason, I guess it can continue to be so.

Yes, I do know how to create an empty text file. Not an empty ODT though, and
telling me to keep an empty ODT document handy in case I want another one is
bordeding on folly.
