I am in the middle of writing a XFCN that searches an external textfile
for a word and then returns a certain amount of following lines back to
Hypercard.

My question is this:

If I use several sucessive Readln's in the text file to get the lines
out, how can I return all these lines back to HyperCard to stivk into a field.
Essentially, what is the best way to stick several lines into one Str255
before returning to HyperCard.  I think that is what I am trying to say.

E-mail perferred, however posting is OK.

Thanks
