File objects and seek

[Tommy Grav]

I have a file object that contains a binary read in file. I would  
like to
move to another position in the file to read in a record. seek seems
to work fine with a positive value, but not a negative one (moving
back from the current relative position). Is this the intended behavior?
How do I move backwards (towards the beginning) in the file?


Cheers
Tommy
