FileToStr() will read the file.
Alines() may also help, since it will convert the result to an array, one array element per line. Since you are not yet using VFP 9, please note that in older versions, arrays are limited to 65,000 elements, which would be about 1000 pages of text.
You can store the result back to file with StrToFile(); all at once, or one line at the time with the "append" option.
