Also, a SEEK function that put the 'cursor' to that line or char of the file.

I got it! When you open the file, you could select whether it is to be accessed Line-by-line ot Char-by-Char, than all subsequent READLINE, WRITELINE, and the new SEEK could access the file as specified. Make Line the default.

I agree with the read AND write too.

Also, could we make the Readline not terminate on a CHR(26)?
