We could for sure be better at providing examples and tutorials. One of these days...

There are many ways to read a file:

The whole file in one sweep: 

	string s = Stdio.read_file("file.ext");

And I guess this one way of using the File object.

	Stdio.File f = Stdio.File("file.ext", "r");

or alternatively

	Stdion.File f = Stdio.File();
	f->open("file.ext", "r");

and then

	string a = f->read(1024); -> read one kb	
	string b = f->read();     -> read to end of file or stream


Hope this works.
