Philip, I wasn't sure if you were asking about viewing these text files interactively, or programmatically from your app. Docs To Go is a pretty decent text file viewer, with 5way nav and multiple font sizes, if it is installed on your device. Just make sure the text files have a .txt filename suffix and it should find them when it searches the card. If you want to view them programmatically, you should be able to use the local exchange lib to send the txt file to DTG, or even to Memo Pad for viewing, just like viewing a txt file attachment in Versamail for example.
