Ah k cool. In which case you don't need to specify a byte/char position at
all so the whole 'start' question becomes moot.
In this case, since you read the whole file, then rewrite the whole file, to
simplify might consider using the URL keyword to do this.
put url "file:test" into tContents-- to
Yeah, I snipped the code because I was trying to shorten everything up, but
I actually open for reading then close, then reopen for writing and
overwrite the entire contents.

statements in.
When attempting to update filename, the message I am getting in theResult is
"error seeking in file". What does that mean? How do I fix it?
