Come to think of it, does anyone know of a way to read data
from a file, from within an indicator? There's the "FileAppend"
method for writing out, of course, but I can't seem to find
any corresponding method to read data in from a file.
Suggestions for reading a file in, other than writing my own DLL,
or using a third party product such as "HashNums"?
