So the dgIndex is assigned after it is read in and sorted? I am using the
simple technique of:
> put "C:\Users\Skip\Desktop\myLog.log" into it

> set the dgText of group "MyGrid" to theData
Looks like I might need to approach this thing differently if I want to
read it in line by line and assign a number to it, right?
