{ This example Programs displays a Text File using simple Word wrap. The }

{ The Program makes some important assumptions.  The main one is that no }
{ line in the File will ever exceed 255 Characters in length.  to get    }
{ around this restriction the ReadTxtLine Function would need to be      }
{ rewritten.                                                             }

{ The other major restriction is that Files exceeding a size able to be  }
{ totally placed in RAM cannot be viewed.                                }
