Hmm, most of the time will be opening the file, so doing both may be the
slowest solution as you are opening twice.
If you eventually need to read in all the files, and you have enough
RAM, best solution
would be to read the lot using File.Load ()
If you only read the rest of some files, then read the first line
using OPEN and keep the file objects
so you can read the rest without opening them a second time.
