Code:
cat R2_20060719.610.txt | while read LINE
do
echo "$LINE"
done

or preferably
Code:
while read LINE
do
echo "$LINE"
done <R2_20060719.610.txt

Will not skip the last line, it will in effect behave exactly like the cat command. There are a number of ways you could aciehve the desired results. The simplest of which is probably to store the value of LINE in another variable, and print that value in the next iteration through the while loop.
