Man, something is weird today. Two errors in a row? That hasn't happened to me in a long time. Anyways, here is the code.
mob/Owner
    verb
        View_Bugs()
            file2text('Bug reports.htm')


loading Terror.dme
loading Map and Interface\skin.dmf
Code\Staff.dm:28:warning: file2text: statement has no effect
loading Map and Interface\map.dmm
saving Terror.dmb

Terror.dmb - 0 errors, 1 warning (double-click on an error to jump to it)

Please tell me why it's doing that. It even said in the guide: "file2text(File)
File is the name of the file.
Returns contents as a text string."

It returns the contents of the file as a text string, but your code doesn't do anything with it. If you sent it to world for example, the warning would go away, because something is actually being done.

world << file2text('Bug reports.htm')

<s>You're not doing anything with it, like storing it in a variable, or displaying it.</s>
