Can anyone tell me the semantics of the 'mode' arg to the OPEN, CREATE
and SEEK traps? I'm looking for enlightenment on how to do things like:
open an existing file for output, position to end
" " " " " " " " beginning
open existing file for bidirectional IO, position randomly
create new file for bidirectional IO...
ad nauseum. Thanks in advance for any info.
