Sequential File Position Reset

Is there any way to go back to the beginning of a sequential file without closing it and then re-opening it? I know this is probably a stupid question, but I did not find anything about it

Try SEEK, might work..

I am pretty sure that you need to close and open is again... or just use random access files.

Yep, SEEK'll work. It sets it to the byte position in the file.
For most things I do just use random-access files. But this is a readme file and so I wanted to make it readable by any text-editor in case the person didn't want to find out if the program had a built-in readme viewer/help system
