I agree with your assessment -- it looks to me like it's probably an
encrypted M-file extracted from the CTF file associated with a compiled
application.

If by "open" you mean "open in the Editor", just use the EDIT command.
If by "open" you mean "open the file so you can read its human-readable
contents", ask the person who created the compiled application or who
created the P-file (if the file has the extension .p) to give you the plain
text version. If that person doesn't have a copy of the plain text version
anymore, or does not want to give you the file, you're pretty much out of
luck.
