Help!

I've misplaced (allright.. I lost) our VMS "Programmers" Pascal manual, 
and now am having some headaches trying to do file manipulations.  

Can anyone explain the following to me:


	How to to RESET and REWRITE filenames stored
	(for example) in a character array.  I.E.  Somehow
	associating the "text" variable name with a 
	filename in a character array.

	Is the OPEN statement required?  

	WHY oh.. WHY is VMS Pascal so bass ackwards?


Thanks in advance ..
