Well, here's reading it into a list, which is probably the next best thing.

   (= alist (w/infile file "c:/users/steve/desktop/mccf.txt" (drain (readline file))))
Thanks for all of the help.

More interesting answers/questions.

From arc.arc:

  (def read ((o x (stdin)) (o eof nil))
    (if (isa x 'string) (readstring1 x eof) (sread x eof)))

  ; inconsistency between names of readfile[1] and writefile

  (def readfile (name) (w/infile s name (drain (read s))))

  (def readfile1 (name) (w/infile s name (read s)))

  (def readall (src (o eof nil))
    ((afn (i)
      (let x (read i eof)
        (if (is x eof)
            nil
            (cons x (self i)))))
     (if (isa src 'string) (instring src) src)))

  Use (quit) to quit, (tl) to return here after an interrupt.
