' This script automates the import of a series of HP Gallery files
' into Freelance.
'
' The script prompts the user for the name of an ascii text file
' containing a list of the file names to be imported. This text
' file must have been created before the script is run, and should
' contain one file name per line, including the full path where each
' file is located.
'
' Example input file:
'
' c:\lotus\work\flw\myfile.gal
' c:\lotus\work\flw\myfile2.gal
' ...etc.
'
' A new page is created for each file imported, and the page name is
' set to the name of the file imported to that page.
