Thanks Jesse.
I'm finding that I can't just substitute args[1] for a text 
string.  Is there a clever way to use args[] in place of your 
"file.in"?

Why not?

void main(string[] args) {
    if(args.length > 1) {
        foreach(line; readText(args[1]).splitLines()) ...
    }
}

This is my program:

import std.stdio,std.string,std.file;

// Main function
void main(string[] args){
    if (args.length > 1){
        foreach(line; readText(args[1]).splitLines()) {
            writefln("line : %s", line);
            //if (n > 10) break;
        }
    }
}

I get this:

std.utf.UTFException@std\utf.d(644): Invalid UTF-8 sequence (at
