I've determined that there was something wrong with my original TAM file
format. I found someone else's apparently authentic TAM file on the
net, and with it I was finally able to write to the ArrayDesignBlocks
and Features tables using the print map importer plugin.
I think I can take it from here.
Thanks anyway, though.
Base 2.2.1 is really nice - especially the new refresh icons at the top
of each page...
