Subject: Idiomatic file snarf

I want to open a file, suck the contexts into a variable and close it  
again.  I suppose I could IO#each and glue the lines together.

Currently I have

       f = File.new(fname)
       text = f.read
       f.close

Surely there's an idiomatic Ruby one-liner?  I must be looking in the  
wrong place @ruby-doc.org -Tim
