Here's some code I'm using in my current project. Basically, you just call
status(fileIOInstance)
openFile (pStoryFile, pStoryFileName, 1) -- open the file as
read-only
err = status(pStoryFile)
if err = 0 then -- the file is open
pNextStory = readFile(pStoryFile)
err = status(PStoryFile)
Cordially,
