selected here, the column number used for the name field in the
*.TXT file is specified here. When the second option is selected, it is
assumed that the *.TXT file does not contain point names and will
assign the first point the name specified here and increment to the
next available point name for the remaining points.
Columns: is where the column number for each specified
coordinate exists in the source *.TXT file. The
coordinates types displayed here can either be for plane
coordinates or geodetic coordinates depending on the
selections made in the previous screen. If a coordinate
has a checkbox, which is unchecked, it is assumed that
the source *.TXT file does not contain columns for that
type of coordinate.

file was created from coordinates with no elevations, but
the file contains an elevation column with values, such
as 0, check this box and indicate the value in the field
that will appear to the right.
