	So I was using the wrong STDIO interface? OK. (although I am
      not sure at the moment where properly to fix this (I think it
      may be tied in to the answer to Kalle's question)).

	I hope that this will this also provide me with similar access
      to _fileno, since the bsd/irix/hpux way does not provide a
      modifiable lvalue.

 
The "linux" way:
void setfileno(FILE *fs, int fd)
{
  fs->_fileno = fd;
}

The "bsd" way:
void setfileno(FILE *fs, int fd)
{
  fileno(fs) = fd;
}

	I was pleasantly surprised with the comments elsewhere on this
      mailing list wrt Lisp - personally, the prospect of using
      guile/scsh for Hurd translators/programming is mouthwatering :-).

	Many thanks,

	Paul.
