The point about a "chapter" was just an answer to my question raised
before DoDi mentioned his source (at that point in time it wasn't clear if
he used the PDF documentation or what other source he meant when referring
to "file handling functions" not providing helpful information for him).
The whole RTL documentation is available as one file for all of PDF, CHM
and INF so this shouldn't make any difference, but I wasn't sure
originally whether he was referring to the RTL reference (which obviously
includes documentation for all the mentioned tasks), or possibly some
other document (since there are references to file handling in other
documents too, but obviously not providing anything like a complete
overview).
