By the way, your code works correctly on my computer.  I ran the program in cygwin
using a bash shell under Windows XP.  What doesn't work correctly in this setup is
writef() followed by user input.  I need to add stdout.flush() after writef.

So go figure...

$ ./readlines.exe
import std.file: readText;
import std.stdio: write;

void main() {
  string s = readText( "readlines.d");
  write(s);
}
