Provided your files are in a folder or directory that is on
the Mathematica search path then you should be able to read
it in using Get (<<).
To find out what directories or folders are on Mathematica's
search path evaluate:
$Path
in Mathematica.
You can also add folders and directories to $Path.
On a Macintosh you can add a folder called (for example)
MyFiles at the root level of a hard disk (again for
example) called Macintosh HD to $Path with the following
command:
AppendTo[ $Path, "Macintosh HD:MyFiles" ]
which you could place in your init.m file so that it
is evaluated every time you run Mathematica.
If you require further help with this I would suggest
that you contact Wolfram Research Technical Support
(support at wri.com) directly.
I hope this helps.
