Here's a brief code sample that fails on the first occurence of the 'seek'
attempt with this message:

Syntax error:
... "expected possibly to see 'end', not a function"
      'seek(fn, tobyte)'

include machine.e
   include file.e
   include get.e
   without warning
   without type_check	
   crash_file("error-messages.txt")
   integer fn 	
   integer tobyte
   sequence resdata 	
   fn=open("dsysmst.dat","rb")
   if fn < 1 then
  	puts(1, "Unable to open the disk file\n")
        abort(fn)
   else 
     tobyte = 0
     seek (fn, tobyte)
     for i = 1 to 10 do 
        resdata = get_bytes(fn, 40)
        puts(1, resdata & '\n')
        tobyte = tobyte + 2690
        seek (fn, tobyte)
     end for   
   end if  
   close(fn)
   puts(1,"Test display of records completed")
