   Hi all,

   while looking up the functions that support file-IO in STk, I wasn't able
   to find any function that does something like file-positioning (like
   fseek() does in C).

'fseek' does not exist in C. It is an OS feature.

        ...

   BTW I'm missing something like rewind() (in C) too.

Same as above. 'rewind' is not a C function. If STk were based on CL
you'd have all these function in the language.
