NOTE: the representation of the PackedString in the file is assumed to
be in the ISO-8859-1 encoding. In other words, only the least signficant
byte is taken from each character in the PackedString.
Read a PackedString directly from the specified Handle. This
is far more efficient than reading the characters into a String
and then using packString.
NOTE: as with hPutPS, the string representation in the file is
assumed to be ISO-8859-1.
