I'm rewriting a BASIC program in Orca/Pascal. The program uses two
files, one of titles and another of details. Each record in the titles
file contains the offset into the details file of the starting point
of the details for the relevant title.

I know I can use SEEK in Orca/Pascal to position the file pointer
anywhere in the file, but how can I determine the position of the file
pointer to begin with?
