   I have a small script which works in Paradox 5/10 windows which allows you   
   to import comma or other delimited records.  The fields in the result table   
   are ASCII.  It used to be on the thedbcommunity.com as a download, but I   
   can't seem to get there.  It allows you to use the first record,  if   
   desired, as field names.   
      
   Steve may have answered your needs.   If there are many files with ASCII   
   fields,  the script can eliminate the need for editing.  I can email the   
   script to you if it will be helpful.
