Is this really supported?  I couldn't find this documented anywhere (I
know... what a surprise.)

The thing is, it is hard to know the right way to do it.  When I seek in a
file that is open for writing, it seems to work just fine.  I wish Apple
would elaborate on what is wrong with seeking in a file open for writing
and whats an alternative that would actually work.

Thanks-
Matt
