This should be simple, maybe I just have a bit of brain-freeze going on.

What I want to do is to read an existing mas file, such as car.mas (/u/ibi/apps/ibisamp/car.mas) and display the contents to the screen, eventually to an ALPHA file for subsequent -READs.

Thanks BabakNYC, But, I needed something a bit more dynamic than that. I need to read existing MFDs based on an incoming variable, via a loop (Many MFDs).

Tony A provided the perfect solution (Thanks for the Brain Thaw Dude). All I needed to do was to replace "'CAR'" with "'&NameOfMFDToRead'".
