thanks for the line by line annotation, now I understand!

just one last small thing, in the above line, won't it suffice just:
exe readfile(tmpfile)
?

my test shows that will only give me a line of the file name, but now
the file contents so you are right,
but help says:
readfile({fname} [, {binary} [, {max}]])
Read file {fname} and return a List, each line of the file
as an item. Lines broken at NL characters. Macintosh files
separated with CR will result in a single long line
(unless a
NL appears somewhere).

so readfile should have "read" the "file", why I only get the filename
instead?



thanks.
