Subject: total newbie's IO troubles.

I don't seem to understand the concept of IO streams. I have figured
out how to open up files, but I don't seem to be able to do much with
them. some documentation has clued me into things like each_line or
each_byte, but I still don't really understand the whole deal.

could someone please give me a quick rundown on the basics of file
access, IO, and data flow from said files?
