   Does anyone know what I need to do to BlockRead a file that's currently open?   
   Normal Read(Ln) doesn't seem to care, but BlockRead gives me an error 32.   
      
   Basically, I need to make corrections to the open file, based on what the   
   error-checking program returns. I can save and close it every time, but keeping   
   it open (after doing a save) is more convenient.   
      
   And if you're puzzled? I've actually got a routine that replaces ReadLn with   
   "read_ln", which reads directly from a text file read by BlockRead - just as my   
   "write_line" bypasses "WriteLn" and writes directly to the large-enough   
   SetTextBuf allocated file buffer...   
      
   All part of a process to convert a Pascal program into pure assembler, which   
   has   
   now reached the stage where all code is actually in-line assembler, making the   
   program rather a lot smaller, and about three times as fast. ;)
