Shell file handling?

[robertd at ncoast.UUCP]

     Hello,
{
   Does any one know if bourne-shell
has GOOD file handling, that is i/o
file control?
   Im trying to make a bbs-like program
and this C language thing is not going
to well, it keeps giving me memory-
fault errors at then scanf function,
and I followed the instructions on
scanf completely.

   Is there a bourn-shell i/o handling?

   thanx
       -Rd
