Yup - that is essentially what I just did - after doing Similar tests as
you just did!

So - I guess I'm good to go...

Thanks all for the feedback!

If I do an "APPEND FROM TYPE CSV" it does not import the first line.  I 
just deleted the header line of a csv file and it did not append the 
first record of data.  I added back in "x" as a first line and it 
ignored it and appended the whole file correctly.

If it were my project, I would just add something to the first line 
followed by the chr(13) + chr(10).
