[cFileName] is passed as a wildcard (i.e. "*.DOC"). a picklist
of files of that spec is presented.
If [nTop..nRight] are not passed, a default window of
dimensions 2,2,22,78 is used.
[cTitle] is an optional title. This overrides the
default which is the file name.
[lSearch] is a switch to allow text searches. Default
is True

to File or Print) Default is True.
Examples:
---------
REPORT FORM summary TO summary.txt
FILEREAD(2,2,22,78,"SUMMARY.TXT","Summary File")
Notes:
-------
Fileread() will use SET DEFAULT if no path is
specified.
