    I'm probably confusing another file type, but here goes:
    I Thought an indexed file(not i.s.)  was a collection of clusters that
    could access by using the index (a pointer). Meaning records could be
    variable length and no seeks where require to access record(n) since
    address calculation could give us the position of the pointer to the
    cluster.
    It's possible the original post said indexed sequential.
