but then why do they have a:

docs/api/java/nio/channels/FileChannel.html#position()
~
in the API? How/What is it used for?

If you read the FileChannel.position() as you read off the chars from the
CharBuffer you always get 0 (as if the offset pointer in the underlying
FileChannel would not advance)
~
I am using:
~
$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_11-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)

Probably because you are not reading through the channel but mapping the
file into memory.

Please stop ripping your posting threads apart. Thank you.
