ReadLn - Read Lines from a filehandle - Requires v37
INPUTS

FUNCTION
ReadLn reads linesfrom a filehandle previosly opened
with the 'Open' command. its purpose is to split the
contents of a certain file in order to be able to
handle it with different other commands, without a need
of using another scripting language (like e.g. ARexx).
ReadLn does no checks on the given filehandle, so
it should be used carefully.
