Is the problem selecting the file to read or actually reading it after you have the file name? If it is a file selection problem it may be a problem with a file filter which can be difficult in OS X. OS 9 and earlier used file types & creator codes to identify files. OS X partly uses these and partly using file extensions, so sometimes a file is not recognized as being anything!
Try this:
answer file "Select a file:" -- no filters
put it into tFile
put URL ("file:" & tFile) into fld 1

I've been trying to work with the "read from file" command (Rev 2.1.2 on
a G4 PowerBook with OS 10.3.2). The file involved was produced in Nisus
Writer Express and saved as text. Nothing happened despite all attempts
to "improve" the script including "get URL". I finally copied the text
into a TextEdit file and it worked.
Does this mean that not all text files will be recognized by Rev? Why TextEdit but not NWE?
