Ok.  Here's another one of my patented Stupid Questions (tm).

I need to pump a few lines of text to a file.  So, I'm looking through IM and
it says
FSWrite(refNum:integer; var count:longint; buffPtr:Ptr):OSErr;

I wouldn't know a buffPtr if it bit me on the butt.  What is it, and where can
I go to purchase one?

Thanks for your continued help.
