Hi, I need help from one of you programming gurus(of which I hope to be
one...someday).  I'm learning basic09.  The big question I have is why would I
ever want to use a sequential access file over a random access file.  Random
access files are faster (since there is no ascii conversion when "put"ting or
"get"ting data.  Also, you can find the position of any record easily with the
seek/size commands while putting data anywhere you specify.  Please don't let
me look toooooo dumb :-). Dave
