Teaching Hal from Text

Is there a way to make Hal read from several text files in succession of one another?  I don't know about anyone else, but I don't really have the time to sit down and feed him text file after text file.  It'd be nice if I could just set several text files (perhaps even entire folders) for reading and let it do its job.  Is this at all possible?

Solution is easy.
Put every text files in single folder. Go into this folder through a dos-box. Then execute this command "type * > alltexts.txt".
All the text files are now in a the single file called alltexts.txt.

Beware. There is a size limitation for text files Hal can read.
