They are much like the CBM BASIC commands OPEN, CLOSE, and friends.  You 
can open a command channel to the floppy drive, format a disk, ask for 
the error message of the DOS, use REL files and so on.  So you can do 
more with them compared to standard C file functions.  The latter are 
more portable of course.
