 6 Function:  reads the current record into a temporary buffer.
 7 If the tape is one of the five known standard labeled tapes,
 8 the record is checked to determine if it is a label or trailer
 9 record; if it is, information pertinent to that particular
10 record type is displayed.  Otherwise, information pertaining
11 to the physical record length in bits, words, 8-bit bytes,
12 9-bit bytes, and 6-bit characters is displayed.  When the
13 -count argument is specified, N records are read, overlaying
14 each other in the temporary buffer.  Note that when read_record
15 encounters a tape mark, it leaves you positioned at the
16 beginning of the next file.
