those are the error codes from open and close.
with this it shows you lines and not those codes:
code:
$FileName = Dir("C:\novellclient\*.*")
While $FileName <> "" and @ERROR = 0
 $nul=open (1,"C:\novellclient\"+$filename)
 for $a=1 to 3
 $line=readline(1)
 next
 $nul=close(1)
 ? $line
 $FileName = Dir() ; retrieve next file
Loop
corrected one error too.
cheers,
