I seem to be able to read the contents of a 27 kB file but if I try to use the Event Log window for debugging I get a message that the result is too long to display and the script is forced to terminate. Error -20013 is mentioned in the event log but the real error shows up in a modal dialog first.

I don't want to see the whole file as a result, but I do want the log as an aid to further development.

Unfortunately, Script Editor isn't smart enough to deal with this sensibly. Logging a single item bigger than 20 kiB will cause an error, as you saw. (This is considered a bug, but we obviously haven't fixed it yet.) I can only suggest trying an alternate debugging environment, or limit the logged value yourself.
