I would like to read data from a DOS (ascii) file into a workspace.  I
have about 350 observations, 9 variables and would really rather not
type it all in (again) if there is anything else I can do.  I have
read the material on {quad}NREAD but I don't understand it.  How do I
tell APL to convert from ascii to integer?  Do I have to convert
my data somehow first?

Thanks for any help you can give.
