Hmmm. you SURE STDOUT is defined in ?  Normally 'stdout' is defined
but not STDOUT.  Lemme explain the difference.

stdin, stdout and stderr are of type FILE *.  They are buffered.

#define STDIN   0
#define STDOUT  1
#define STDERR  2

Are path numbers.  They are unbuffered paths to the 3 paths that all process
inherit when open.  On path numbers you can do certain things, on FILE *
(pointers) you can do others.

FILE *'s you can use fprintf(), fputs() and all the other functions starting
with f.

On paths, you use read(), write(), readln(), lseek().  Don't mix up FILE *'s
and path numbers.  They are simular but very different.

Does this make sense?
