SF.Get by Karl Bunker is exactly what you're looking for. It's freeware 
so should be in the file archives. The surprising thing is that so few 
programmers used it, but I suppose it had the same problem as a lot of 
other add-ons in that it reduced the amount of memory available, and had 
to be distributed with the BASIC program to make sure the user had it. 
It would have been nice if Apple had included something like it in 
ProDOS BASIC, so it was always available.
