I need a little more help.

I'm trying to read the contents of every file in a directory and use 
the contents of each file in a foreach statement.

What do I need to do to harness the contents of the files instead of 
the file names themselves?  It is not useful for me to list every file 
individually (i.e. as a block [ %file.txt %file2.txt ] )


;--first try

news_dir: %/boot/home/webdata/news/
foreach file read %news_dir [ print news_dir/:file ]

** Access Error: Cannot open /boot/home/Desktop/news_dir.
** Where: foreach file read %news_dir [print news_dir/:file] 


;--second try

news_dir: %/boot/home/webdata/news/
foreach file read %news_dir [ print %news_dir/:file ]

** Syntax Error: Invalid file -- %news_dir/:file.
** Where: (line 260) foreach file read %news_dir [ print %news_dir/
:file ] 


;--third try

news_dir: %/boot/home/webdata/news/
foreach file read news_dir [ print news_dir/:file ]

/boot/home/webdata/news/18950604-CASSELTON 



(right now there is only one file in the directory, but as you can see 
my script is only printing the NAME of the file and its path, not its 
contents.)


What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
