This page was largely a copy of (invalid and messy) old Text page. "file of char" is NOT the same as Text/TextFile. Also, no need for unnecessary upper case. "file" is a type, not variable.
Michalis
List three types of files - file, file of xxx, and link to Text
Michalis
Remove useless notes that file is usually a file on disk (duh), use modern XxxFile identifiers, mention FileMode, FileRec, TextRec...
Michalis
Fix list numbers. (minor)
Michalis
Divide into sections for three file types. Add simplest example code for binary (typed and untyped) files reading.
Vincent
Text replace - "delphi>" to "syntaxhighlight>" (minor)
