Steven,

A notepad file is a plain text file.

You can open in a variety of ways as
#1 low level like FOPEN()

#2 FILETOSTR()

#3 if the file containes something like a CSV or SDF format you may consider APPEND FROM .. TYPE.

#1 and #2 will need string operations to get the data.

See the commands and funtions for further help
