I find it annoying that [text] (and jit.textfile) read a file only if its name ends with .txt – there are plenty of other extensions used for basically ascii text files.
Anybody would have a workaround?
Thanks for any tip!

[filein], of course. And I thought opendialog wouldn’t have worked, but it does – should have tried first!
