In spite of the vanishing 's', it still seems to work here. In fact,
although the stated limit is 2 delimiters, I get these results:
---------------------------
read file f
--> "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
---------------------------
read file f using delimiter {"e", "n", "w"}
--> {"abcd", "fghijklm", "opqrstuv", "xyz"}
---------------------------
read file f using delimiter {"a", "b", "c", [...etc...] "x", "y", "z"}
--> {"", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",
"", "",
"", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""}
---------------------------

Thanks Kai, your experience is definitely different than mine.
I tried using a negative number as a delimiter (dd is the text
returned from a display dialog) and it does not work.
It takes the "-" to be the delimiter skipping the number altogether.
However, setting astid to a negative number works.
So if your file is
1 1 2 3 4 -200
3 3 5
using delimiter(s) {"-200" , return} yields:
{1 1 2 3 4, 200 , 3 3 5}
it does not change if you modify delimiter to {-200, return}
Thanks agai
