loading external files into Lists - examples or potential solutions?

[David McFarlane]

BTW, this is easier to figure out in good old EP1.  In EP1, using the 
default "Embedded" load method on a sample List, you could just 
scroll to the bottom of the generated script and see what the 
external file had to look like, and you could even copy & paste that 
into an external text file as a starting point.
