Greetings, All...

Help!

I'm writing a little adjunct to my editor which, at the moment, is having
tagline support written into it.

The trouble is I don't know enough about linked lists to use them to store
the data and so it works straight off the file.

The problem here is that SEEK won't work on text file, so I use untyped
files. And READ and READLN won't work on untyped files, so I need to use
text files...

Etc.

Does anyone know either

a) a SEEK-equivalent for text files or
b) a READLN-equivalent for untyped files?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
