- While the most common way of importing data into FileMaker is via a data file,
- FileMaker Pro 2.0 allows data to be imported via AppleEvents. This is a
- particularly useful feature for use with terminal programs that support
- AppleEvents -- you can esentially pipeline data from the term package to
- FileMaker...
