  Problem with file #read

I can't seem to #read using close to the example in 
the Documentation. The example below errors that var2 
is an undeclared identifier. 

I've tried with and without a trailing comma, after 
xf5 and before the closing quote 

Am using version 3.6.1.c.id8.win32 on WinXP. 
Any suggestions much appreciated. 

// if first time through, then write file 
#if (clock = 0)
 #declare xf1 = 4.30 ;
 #declare xf2 = 5.30 ;
 #declare xf3 = 6.30 ;
 #declare xf4 = 7.30 ;
 #declare xf5 = 8.30 ;
 #declare xf6 = 9.30 ;
#fopen MyFile "shapesA.txt" write
#write(MyFile,"\"ShapesA\",",xf1,",",xf2,",",xf3,",",xf4,",",xf5"\n")
#fclose Myfile
#end

#declare var1 = 1.1 ;

// read from file 
#fopen Infile "shapesA.txt" read
#read (Infile, Txt1, var1, var2, var3, var4, var5)
#fclose Infile       
#debug concat("\n\nClock = ",str(clock,1,2)," \n")
#debug concat("File read -> ", str(var2,1,1), " \n")
