Don't doubt yourself it is so simple
I've added it in red

Declare InputFile numberList
Declare Integer i
Declare Integer sum
Open numberList "number_list.dat"
Display "Here are the numbers:"
Set sum to 0
While NOT eof (numberList)
   Read NumberList i
   Add i to sum
   Display i
End While
Display sum

Note to all members 1. Please 1 question per post 2. Show respect to your fellow members by rating all answers. 3. When rating remember that the first answer is not necessarily the best answer. 4. When answering questions, explain what you are doing, so that the asker will learn, don't just give a meaningless number. 5. Your answers should be your work. Don't copy from another member, this is Karma abuse and possible disciplinary actions against you. and GOOD LUCK to you all!!
