...confused in basics...
I suggest you do the following. Find examples in your textbook or class notes or whatever other reference material you are working from (web-based tutorials or manuals or whatever):


Give an example of a program using return


Give an example of a program using rewind


Give an example of a program using backspace


Explain exactly what you are confused about. In particular, explain what the heck "return" has to do with "rewind" or "backspace"


Regards,

Dave


Footnote:

Find a reference site that you like. There are about a million of them (maybe more). Then look up specific functions.

For example I might start here:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/comphelp/v8v101/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.xlf101a.doc/xlflr/return.htm

and

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/comphelp/v8v101/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.xlf101a.doc/xlflr/rewind.htm

and

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/comphelp/v8v101/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.xlf101a.doc/xlflr/backspace.htm
