Hi Roland,
to read a simple text file into a list you can use a construction
like this:

% open.pl
% GPL, what else? 2002 sax
io(List) :- 
                open('zeichen.txt', read, Stream),
                add_stream_alias(Stream, ali),
                chars_from_stream(List).
                
chars_from_stream(_) :-
                at_end_of_stream(ali),
                close(ali).
chars_from_stream([Char| Chars]) :-
                get_my_byte(Char),
                chars_from_stream(Chars).

get_my_byte(C) :-
        get_char(ali, C).
%        get_code(ali, C).
% EOF
