   My questions about importing data and XCMDs stem from my need to automate
 an updating process where the Mac would sign on to a mainframe overnight
 and download a "delta" file of data.  In FoxBase I can do things that aren't
 built in to the database by writing XFCNs or XCMDs, and calling them from the
 code.  It helps keep everything in a nice neat package (FoxBase has other
 things to balance that, of course).

  Thanks for your help.
