It is cool. I'm trying to use it right now to avoid multiple OPEN's of the same file and I have multiple files opened at the same time. Where I'm hitting a snag is recognizing if the file being sought needs a record number or byte. You would think it obvious, a record number only if the file was opened in a random access mode, but if you have a mix of sequential and random files opened I appear to have confused my computer ... it's not me who is confused you understand, I know exactly what I asked the computer to do but we speak different languages. I have a good idea on a fix for my problem but thought it might be one of those commands not used very much so perhaps a candidate for the Pete's Word of the Day.
