See the manuals: Assign() and Reset/Rewrite.

Var
  f : Text;

{or

  F : File;
  for untyped file or
  F : File of byte;

for byte access }

begin
  Assign(F,'somefile.txt');
  Reset(f); { Open for reading; Open for writing is done with Rewrite(f) }
  { do things }
  close(f);
end.

Michael.

Reset(f);

This command opens also typed files for writing. But will set the read only flag for the text files
