Thanks, it works. The following solved the problem, where theChoice is a URL to 
a local file from an NSOpenPanel:

        NSData *theData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:theChoice];
        NSString *theContent = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:theData encoding:
                                
CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding(kCFStringEncodingDOSLatin1)
                                ];
