[clean-list] term reading and writing

[HP Wei]

Newbie questions--

Suppose there is a data type,

:: Person = { name :: String,
              id :: (Int, String),
              flag :: Bool }

Suppose a file whose name is fname.txt 
has the following content:
{ name = "a_name",
  id = (123, "an_id"),
  flag = True }

-----------------------------------
Q1: how do I 'read in' a Person from fname.txt ?
   [ i.e.
     If person is of type Person,
     person = _read_ "fname.txt"

   is there a built-in fx that does the above _read_ ?
   Or shall I need to write a parse-fx to do this ?

Q2: if person = {name ="xyz",
                 id = (456, "id"),
                 flag = False}

    how do I _print_ this 'person' to a text file
    fname1.txt ?

*** for those who knows Erlang, Q1 and Q2 are term 
    reading and writing.
