Why can't you read each line with a StandardFileStream?

theLine _ myStream upTo: Character lf.

Or whatever your line endings are. I assume if this is a standard Unix 
mbox file, they're linefeeds.

If you're on a more primitive operating system where they need two 
characters (say CR/LF) to represent one line ending, then you could 
do this:

theLine _ myStream upTo: Character cr.
myStream next.
