Hi All: I see now, the behavior is different depending on what you pass to withHeader()! Confusing indeed.
If you call withHeader with Strings, the first line is not read and it is returned as a record. If you call withHeader with no arguments, the first line _is_ read and it is NOT returned as a record. I think I'll change it so that withHeader causes the first line to be skipped, always, and add an option skipHeaders with a default of true. So if you really want to set the headers AND see what they are, you can do that.
