I need a little help with Turbo Pascal dealing with files and the
input buffer (window, pointer, what ever you like to call it).

My documentation seems to neatly skip over this little gem, and I am
really perplexed on how to write the following "standard pascal"
code in Turbo:

var  number : integer;
     letter : char;

begin
   if inputfile^ in [0..9] then
     readln(inputfile, number)
   else
     read(inputfile,letter);
end


any help on this would be met with a very warm welcome.

   Many thanks in advance....
