Hello MathGroup gurus,
There are two questions:
1. What's the difference between Import[ ] & ReadList?
2.Are the two types "Word" and have different meanings?

Sorry for that I am not using english as mother tongue, so I cannot 
really undersatnd the contents in Mathematica books about the two questions.
Maybe the answers are trivial, but I need some help.

I execute Mathematica 4.1 on Windows98

Thanks for any advice.
