Dale,

   Probably Microserfs.

   Thanks. No tab settings in ~/.emacs before; now there are.

   Jpilot dumps the selected data as a .csv file; no spaces. I replaced the
commas with tabs (probably in joe) and removed the quotes. But, then I
formatted the file in what I thought was the correct format, but wasn't so I
had to redo it so each record was on a single line with tabs between
strings. That's what I tried doing in emacs.

   Well, next time I'll see if the tabs set to 4 makes a difference.

Many thanks,

Rich
