Do you mean like from around page 79 of the manual?

code:
READLINE
Action
Reads a line from a file.

Syntax
READLINE (file number)

Parameter
File number
A numeric expression indicating the file number of the file to open. Possible values range from 1 to 10.

Remarks
READLINE reads a string ending in a carriage return. If successful, the function 
returns the string without a carriage return. If it encounters an error, @ERROR returns an error code.

Returns
-4	File not open for reading
-3	File number not open
-2	Invalid file number specified
-1	End of file
0	Line read successfully

Example
IF Open(3, @LDRIVE + "\CONFIG\SETTINGS.INI")  = 0
   $x = ReadLine(3)
   WHILE @ERROR = 0
      ? "Line read: [" + $x + "]"
      $x = ReadLine(3)
   LOOP
   Close (3)
ELSE
   BEEP
   ? "Config file not opened, error code: [" + @ERROR + "]"
ENDIF
