 I don't know much about the basics of MPE but I'm trying to understand
an application that runs on MPE.

I'd like to know if it uses direct or sequential access to a file but
I can't see how the two access methods are used.  I couldn't see a
flag on FOPEN or on the BUILD command.  So how do you open a file for
sequential or direct access?

Also, FDELETE will delete a record from a RIO file.  How do you delete
a record from a direct access standard file?

Thanks

Peter
