It's possible to add that as an option to gfiles. Basicall, it will fill a
variable to see if the text file is newer than the user's last visit.
Something like a little check mark can be used in the gfhi/gflo ansi files to
signify that the file is new to that user.
Beyond that, I don't think I would want to take the app in to a direction
where it needs to keep track of which files the user has read.
