Hi there, can someone help me with some beginners problems.

 I'm quit new to programming in C, but after a short course at my company 
(using Turbo C on PC) I thought I was ready to start with some basic 
examples on a Amiga (using Lattice Ver 5.0). 
 I started out by typing in the first example in "Amiga bogen", the danish
version of "Programmer's guide to the Amiga" by Robert A.Peck. You will 
see the program below:

#include "libraries/dosextens.h"
extern struct FileHandle *Open();

main()
{
      struct FileHandle *dos_fh;
      if (dos_fh = Open("*",MODE_OLDFILE))
      {
            fprintf(dos_fh,"%ls","Hello there!\n");
            Close(dos_fh);

      }
      else
      printf("Error!!\n");

}

 I'v checked it for typing errors several times, but I still end up at 
the Guru. It seems that the "fprinf" can't be used together with "Open" 
and "Write" should be used instead.
 Is this an error in the book or is the problem due to incompatibility 
with the Lattice compiler?
 
 By the way; Where do I find a description of the functions in dosextens


I'll be greatfull if somebody could help me out.

Klaus
