I'd like to read a short text string in from the hard disk and assign it to
a VBA string variable. I hunted around in the VBA help file, and couldn't
find anything on getting files. I don't want to open a file and put it onto
a Worksheet and then read it from there. (And then close the Sheet.) A bit
of overkill for a four character long file.
