tracking what files are being accessed by a process?

[Matt Price]

hey folks,

I'm having a trouble with skype on my ubuntu 12.10 laptop -- it
monopolizes the disk with very heavy reads, and my system grinds to a
halt.

I'd like to at least check to see what it's reading, before I give up
and stop using it; is there a simple way to do this?  thanks,
Matt
