Yes, you should be able to do it with open.
Incidentally, there's a 'unique word in REBOL that may save you having
to check if your function names are in your list. It's behaviour
is...
>> unique ["a" "b" "c" "a" "c"]
== ["a" "b" "c"]
so you could just add each function name to your block as you examine
the lines then when you've finished reading the file use unique to
strip out the duplicates from the block before you sort them.
