...does the same as:
open file tFile for read
read from file until EOF
close file tFile
It's just more convenient than using the three-line method (which can be
very useful if you need for fine-grained control over the read, such as
reading in chunks or from a particular offset).
Unless your files are much bigger than 100 MBs you should find loading
them into memory well worth the effort for the time saved parsing them thee.
