Transfers a record from a specified random access file into the
associated random file buffer.
filenum The number under which the file was OPENed.
recnum A numeric expression in the range 1 to 16,777,215,
specifying the number of the record to be transferred.
Defaults to the next record, or record 1 (if no previous

Notes: After a record has been transferred from disk to the
random file buffer, its data may be accessed via INPUT #,
LINE INPUT #, or references to variables defined in a
FIELD statement.
If the file associated with filenum is a communications
file, then recnum specifies the number of bytes to read.
