How does one open a disk file for reading with TDI Modula-2?

I have tried to get OpenInputFile in the InOut module with
unsuccessful results.

If anyone has this compiler, please let me know how you have
gotten disk files to work.

I've used both OpenInput (from InOut) and OpenStream (from Streams) without
a hitch... never tried OpenInputFile...

No problem is so formidable that you can't just walk away from it.

I've used streams with no problem:

	OpenStream(handle,"foobar.doc",READ,reply);

	However, the same thing done with the printer acts weirdly:
		
		OpenStream(handle,"PRN:",READWRITE,reply);
		(* reply is -3 - "unknown command" *)
	
Having posted a glowing review of TDI Modula-2, I am now starting to find
a few bugs. When I have a complete list, I will post a follow-up.
