Well a byte buffer of length  one is a byte, right!?  So I don't see the 
problem with  `cbm_read()`::

I just want to load a byte and assign it to a variable to handle to decide  
what to do with it.  But cbm_read() can do the job.


...

uint8_t some_byte_value

...

cbm_read(lfn, &some_byte_value, 1);

If you insist  on the kernal routines, take a look at the ``cbm.h`` 
header file.   The kernal function names start with `cbm_k_*`.

I did.  I even looked at the Vic20 PRG. The routines seemed to request  
input from the keyboard and then indent the cursor two columns.  But for  now, 
I'm using cbm_read().  Thank you for your help.
