I have an import spect that's fubar. It gets a "Pointer not found" error when
you try to import the spec itself. How can I edit the import spec (regardless
of the error...), and does anyone know what that error denotes?

Jim,

In order to modify an Import Specification you will have to go thru File,
Get External Data and select a file (any file you are not going to actually
Import it). Then click the Advanced button and select the Import
Specification you want to *fix*, modify it and resave. You can then Cancel
out of that *wizard*.
