Let me answer this one first. Yes, of course it's possible. I can say
that because the IDE itself, like all the visual tools, are written in
Dabo!

On the code editor window of the Class Designer there is a button
'Manage Imports'. Click that, and in the dialog that pops up, enter
any import statements you need. Since the file saved by the Class
Designer is rendered into a single class file at runtime, those
imports will be in scope in your method code.

You don't need a bizobj, since the main function of a bizobj is to
handle the logic behind reading and writing to a table in a database.
Instead, you could do something like this in the afterInit() method of
the list:
self.Choices = file("personList.txt").read().splitlines()
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to post them here.
