TPU fileio question

I am currently writing a fileio routine for TPU so that EVE (or rather
my version of it) can read files straight from an FTP server on a
remote machine.  Then I can replace vi with TPU, yay!  Anyway, my question  
is why does TPU provide for multiple I/O streams?  And what is the effect
if I write a fileio routine that only supports having a single file open
at a time?  Since journal files are not handled by the fileio routine, 
under what circumstances would TPU ever have more than one file open at a 
time?  This is probably a question for the DEC guys, (Bill? August?) but
if anybody has had any experience with this I would appreciate your comments.

Thanks,

Wayne Westmoreland
