I see that the ReadTextFile function is assigned TWO different
values.

First, it is assigned Space$(LOF(iNum))
And then is assigned Input(LOF(iNum), iNum)

I thought a function was supposed to exit once it is assigned
a value? Is it possible to assign a function a value like that?
Twice in succession??
