[AccessD] deleting first line of a text file?

Unless there's some sort of function that I do not know of, you need to:

1) open output file
2) open input file
3) read line of input file
4) read line of input file
5) write input line to output file
6) if not eof, goto #4.
7) close input file
8) close output file
9) delete input file
10) rename output file with the name of the old input file.
