            Benchmark Modula-2 supports a file command called
        "SetPost(VAR f: File; pos: LONGCARD);" which "Move(s) file
        pointer to new position".


            Equivalents of all C file i/o mechanisms are also available,
        mostly for ease of translation.


                                                Good Luck,


                                                             Wade.
