        OK, so you parse the file and create a dDataSet.

        I don't know why you need a bizobj: you have no table and no business  
logic.

        Again, no need for business logic; the user supplies that.

        So let me understand: you display a line of text, and the user marks  
how to split it up, and probably also what to name each piece. You  
then write that information to a text file. Is that correct?

        I guess I'm still not understanding why you think that you need a  
cursor or a bizobj.
