Best way it may not be but different, yes:
put "file:" & fileX into tFile # fileX is the path to your file
put the length of url tFile into tBytes
put 1 into tOffset
open file fileX for read
repeat
if tOffset >= tBytes then exit repeat
read from file fileX at tOffset for 2000
put it after Var1 # or whatever
add 2000 to tOffset
end repeat
close file fileX
