>>	How to to RESET and REWRITE filenames

> RESET and REWRITE took file *variables*, not file names

In Oregon Software Pascal as I recall, you could do: reset(fvar,'fname')
and rewrite too, with some other optional arguments as well.  VMS 4.x
has a lot of online help for Pascal:

$ help PASCAL Input_Output General_Procedures OPEN
	...
		OPEN (file-variable
			,[[file-name]]
			,[[file-history]]
	... lots more

like: open(input,'fname',readonly); open(output,'fout',new);
