- The following example shows how to write and read data to
- and from a file. It is intended merely as a starting
- point for those that are struggling to get started with
- file related IO. Please read the documentation on each
- object for more information. Some very minimal exception
- handling is thrown in and by no means constitutes a
- robust solution.

- In order to setup the program, place a TMemo component on
- a form with a Write captioned and a Read captioned button.
- Run the program, place some lines in the "memo", then
- press on Write. Clear the "memo", and press on Read.
