 1) When importing files in hypercard can you specify the number of lines
you want to import 

ex: read 100 linrs from file "file"

2) Anybody know an all-purpose script that will import files that are bigger
then 16k.  I've been able to do this but I modify the script for each file (size)
 Thanks,  Garry Knox  Knox@umd5.umd.edu
