   If only you knew how many characters were in the text file beforehand. Error   
   handling is inelegant. Gracefully handle the End Of File (EOF)   
      
     0 D$ = CHR$(4)   
   REM 10 PRINT D$"NOMONC,I,O"   
    20 INPUT F$   
    30 PRINT D$"VERIFY"F$   
    40 M$ = CHR$(13)   
    50 PRINT D$"OPEN"F$M$D$"READ"F$   
    60 ONERR GOTO 100   
    70 GET C$   
    80 PRINT M$C$;   
    90 GOTO 70   
   100 POKE 216,0   
   120 EOF = PEEK(222) = 5   
   130 IF NOT EOF THEN RESUME   
   140 PRINT D$"CLOSE"   
      
   FN is a keyword.   
   INPUT won't handle long lines.   
   INPUT will ignore extra characters from where a comma or a colon starts in   
   the line.   
   PRINT M$C$; might be a DOS 3.3 thing, I didn't test this in ProDOS.
