Here's a quick, easy way to get you started:

Code:

REM Change this to the file you want to load:
%%file = C:\file.txt
REM Load a file's contents into list 1
list create,1
list loadfile,1,%%file
REM Show the file's contents in a message box
info @text(1)
exit

Heres another way too using part of sheeps code:

Code:

rem Change this to the file you want to load:
%%file = C:\file.txt
rem Load a file's contents into list 1
list create,1
list loadfile,1,%%file
rem Show the file's contents in a message box
IF @EQUAL(@MSGBOX(File Contents":"@CR()@TEXT(1),File Text Contents,$000),1)
END

Heres a link of a thing I drew up for MSGBOX help:
