Title: reading a file in an applescript.
Hi folks!
New to applescript ...
I'm trying to read a file in an applescript.

I've tried a number of different syntax options.
The most simple is:

read theTextFile

I get the following error:
Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier.

But this is the most basic syntax I've found.
Any ideas?

(I’m running OSX – not leppord)
