The version I sent earlier appeared to work, but actually does not.  This
version does:

tblcsv =: 4 : 0
 r=. y-.'"/'
 r=, '_' ((r='-')#i.$r) } r
 r=.([: < ;._1 ',',]) ;._2 r
 ttl=. {.r
 dat=. |:}.r
 for_k. (x e. 'dn')#i.$x do.
   dat=. (><&.>".'0',"1>k{dat) k}dat
 end.
 ttl,|:dat
)

Thanks again to everyone for all the help.
