    AA>> I do have to confess that I ran into some confusion about:

    RM> This part is made very badly indeed. First it ignores ANYTHING not in   
    RM> CAPS.   
      
   Thanks for that.  My boss sends the arealist all in lowercase.  For example:

   ..so, maybe this is why I can't seem to pick anything after the "Use as   
   Arealist" function.   
      
      
      
    RM> I think the first is how many lines to ignore. (introduction info without   
    RM> real areas) Then it is simply column where the areaname is and column   
    RM> where the description is.   
      
    RM> But areaname needs to be CAPS.   
      
   Hmm... I don't think I have any control how my boss builds the arealist.  As   
   above, it arrives in LOWERCASE.  :(   
      
   This could be a modest shortcoming with Winpoint.
