+===== The text file =====
+The file we use as source is a plain text file with a carriage return in between every data entry, the file is located at the Blocks default file location /script/files/.
+If a SimpleFile is used to read a text file and the file is kept at the default location only the filename must be specified. If you want to user some other folder the full file path must be used.
+:!: This user script can only access files stored locally  in the blocks root directory either in or under /public/ or /temp/.

 ===== The user script =====
@@ Line 64: / Line 73: @@
 If you would want to run two instances of the same user script you would have to duplicate the .ts file and change the name of the copy to something unique. The name of a user script and the name of the export class must be identical since blocks will find the export class based on filename.
