While the topic of files is hot, and since I got no reply
the previous time round:

Can one read in from a Pari-GP-written file one item at a time?
For example, in a loop I use 'write(filename,x)'.  It creates
a lot of lines starting with 'x='.  

If I say 'read(filename)', the whole file is read, and all the
values of x except the last are lost.  I want to read one, do
something to it, read another, etc.
