Mark,

My tmp file looks like

!! tmp

0.341719   0.990566

0.505954   0.28635

0.663925   0.309206

Read it in, as you do,

data = ReadList["tmp", {Real, Real}]

{{0.341719, 0.990566}, {0.505954, 0.28635}, {0.663925, 0.309206}}

Square the second entry in each row

data /. {{x_Real, y_Real} :> {x, y^2}}

{{0.341719, 0.981221}, {0.505954, 0.0819963}, {0.663925, 0.0956084}}

It's probably better to get the raw data in this case, but we can use

ReadList["tmp", Unevaluated[{#1, #2^2} &[Real, Real]]]

{{0.341719, 0.981221}, {0.505954, 0.0819963}, {0.663925, 0.0956084}}
