As I said, this sounds rather inefficient to me. The driver would have to partly undo your work (you want to write a string, you map it to character writes, possibly in different lines, perhaps interspersed with attributes, then the driver recoginizes sequential writes, with the same attributes if applicable, and turns it back into a sequential string output.
Depends on what you want. The point is that the Pascal file system has the capability of mapping many things in a system independant manner.
I don't deny that it has the capability, but IMHO this doesn't mean much, and it's not always a good solution. I guess we have to agree to disagreee here.
