Reading from a file

[Peter Quain]

ListFileName,BlockNumber,LastValue are all attributes. maybe just 
write them to text file as seperate lines. you'll get 6 lines 
(strings). then just read in lines 3 and 6 when you start exp-2. Or 
if you want to know in exp-2 which lastvalues came from which list 
and which block in exp-1, read all lines into an array and set the 
attributes from the array.
