filename =  'D:\Temp\news.txt'
IntControl(1007, 1, 1, '', '') ; Load scipt into systray
While @TRUE  ; Loop forever
   found = FileExist( filename )
   If found ; File is found
      data = FileGet( filename ) ; Read contents of file
      Message( 'Contents of file', data ) ; Display contents of file
      FileDelete( filename ) ; Delete file
   EndIf
   TimeDelay(1)
   clickstate = IntControl (1007, 0, 0, 0, 0) ;Check if user right clicks on icon if so then exit
   If clickstate == 2
      IntControl (1007, 2, 0, 0, 0) ; Remove currently-running script from the system tray
