Great!  That was only 7 words!!!  I knew it was something simple like this.

So the distinction is that non-native uses portable code using C 
libraries and native uses direct operating system calls.  Can someone, 
in the same simple way, help me understand what the advantage of using 
OS calls would be?  Seems that C library calls would be portable and OS 
calls not, so there must be some advantage to using the direct OS calls. 
  Is there a big speed difference?  Is there something inherently bad 
about using C libraries?
