Powerbasic does seem to support this type file access but Eros doesnt seem to of implemented the file handling in quite the same way.
but there is no reason you couldnt write your own handler, just use the seek keyword to find the next record.
[code=thinbasic]
Status = FILE_Seek(FileHandle, recordnumber*recordlength) ' Set the current read position to 1st byte of the record
buffer = FILE_Get (FileHandle, recordlength) ' Read recordlength bytes and add to buffer
[/code]
