I have recently downloaded a copy of djgpp v2.01 and have been using it
with the rhide IDE.  I have learned how to write and compile basic
programs but have been working for 3 days on getting my programs to read
.txt files from a dos diretory. 

The things that I have been trying to accomplish are:  1. Open a text file
i.e test.txt 2. store each line of the text file into a separate string. 
3.  display the strings in stdout.  and 4. Pause stdout before scrolling
of the screen begins.  5. close test file. 

As I have said, I've spend a considerable amount of time both trying
different lib functions and reading your documentation.  Any help in
accomplishing these task would be greatly apreciated.
