Thanks for the <bad> news Xav. At least I know it wasn't *me*!

However, has anyone done an import from a CSV or similar text file?
I have found the Address Book layout, so I can match it up with
some kind of Outlook Express export feature... 

Has anyone done an import from say a Mesa/2 spreadsheet or MS-Works?
Would they still have a template and some instructions, gotchas to
beware etc.?
