I am working on a FileTypes CDA.  This CDA will input either the Hex or 3
letter abbreviation for a filetype, and will tell you what filetype it is, and
other information about it.  I have a working version of the program (written
in Orca/Pascal) as a normal program (not CDA) but I've found that when I
compile the program into a CDA the normal reset(filetype,filename) no longer
works.  I was talking to a friend of mine who told me that I need to use
OpenGS, and other ProDOS 16 calls.  Can anybody send me an example of how to
open and read from a file in pascal?  I really don't feel like shelling out for
more manuals :P.

Thank you in advance.
