Just wanted to add here something I found out about ReadLn() the hard
way. It has a limit of 1,000 characters before it will just truncate. I
know, what crazy text file has a single line of over 1,000 characters :^)
It's just something I've never seen in any docs and it can be quite a
frustrating error to track down.

Later,
Bryan
