[Coco] Question about I$Seek

[Bob Devries]

If you're talking about assembler code, then the file position pointer is 
spread between BOTH the X and Y registers. According to page 8-62 of the OS9 
manual:

Entry Conditions:

A = path number
X = MS 16 bits of the desired file position
U = LS 16 bits of the desired file position

Error output:

CC = carry set on error
B = error code (if any)

Hope that helps
