You ask how you use FSRead in newline mode? Hah! FSRead has no newline 
mode, bunky. You bite the bullet and buffer your i/o. Allocate a
chunk 'o mem, FSRead into that, and move a ptr thru the chunk
searching for carriage returns. When your ptr gets near the end
of the chunk 'o mem, do another FSRead. 

I glossed over a few details, but you get the picture.
