Well it is dead simple. :-) Open a filelist, click the file in question
(the ascii contents will be shown in the filelist), select it all and
paste into a method between single quotes. If the contents of the file
is "xxx" then the method simply reads:


myFile
	^'xxx'

Of course - you would need to escape any '-characters with double ones.
Perhaps I misunderstood the problem though, not sure.
