Well, so far most of my File Manager stuff uses the high-level calls (except
when I need to play with directories, or iterate on all files in a folder,
etc.)  But I think that that's irrelevant, since the high-level routines
return something which must be the ioActualCount field. I don't know about
others, but I always check this. And always feel like I'm wasting my time,
until I remember that there are some people out there who still use floppy
disks. :-)

So I think that the driver would cause problems, IF the write failed in some
way. I'm a little less certain about ioPosition, but the same probably holds
true.

Why ask? You planning on writing some bugs? :-)
