RE: User Spaces and BufferedRead's

You could try to use an IFSFileReader based on an IFSFile with a path name
of /QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/FOO.USRSPC (this is probably the same path you're
using in the UserSpace).

Alternatively, it should be pretty simple to create your own
UserSpaceReader. All you need to implement is read(char[], int, int) and
close() which should be pretty easy using the UserSpace read(...) and
close() methods.

Once you have the underlying reader, you can wrap a BufferedReader around
it.

Can you do a buffered read to a user space. I don't find any examples of
it but it would seem logical.

I don't think so. The UserSpace object doesn't extend anything related to
the Reader class.

Based on the methods in the class, however, you might be able to build a
proxy class that translates a user space into a readable class.
