Function            FILEREAD()
Action              Lists a text file of unlimited size
Returns
Category            Metafunction
Syntax              FILEREAD([expN1],[expN2],[expN3],[expN4],[expC])
Description         Lists a text file [expC] of unlimited size in a user
                    definable window. [expN1..expN4]  (top,left bottom,
                    right) Allows up down right left scrolling. I use this
                    for reports or output sent to a disk file.
Options             If [expN1..expN4] are not passed, a default of
                    window of dimensions 2,2,22,78 is used. If no
                    filename [expC] is passed, a popup picklist is
                    used to get a file name from the current
                    directory.
Examples
                    REPORT FORM summary TO summary.txt
                    FILEREAD(2,2,22,78,"SUMMARY.TXT")

Notes               Unlimited file size. Won't bomb like memoedit.
                    However, not nearly as fast as memoedit and
                    no editing capabilities.

                    Fileread uses a 98% Clipper code routine to
                    list text files.
Warning             Cursor is left ON
