Hello...

Im still working on my import and I have not been able to get it to work yet.

When I execute my net file, it halts on Select and gives and error message 
saying "Bad parameter: input must be a group or list"

What is wrong with my net file or general file that causes this error? How can 
I 
correct it?  Does not the Import place the data in an vector list so that 
select 
may then choose which field to use?

I would like look at my data setup with the "dx -prompter" but I cannot do so 
beacause when I attempt to run it, dx does not load and gives me segmentation 
fault error.  That is another issue to be resolved at another time that I am 
not 
familiar with.

Back to my problem at hand, here is my setup:

 My net file is as follows:
 >Import -> Select -> Autocolor -> AutoGlyph -> Collect -> Image    

 My general file is as follows:
 >file = atom.data
 >points = 60
 >format = ascii
 >interleaving = field
 >header = lines 32
 >field = label, locations
 >structure = string[2], 3-vector
 >type = string, float
 >
 >end
 
 My data file is as follows: 
 >32 lines header
 >Xe             131.3000                 2.000                    0.0

 >C        -120.450791461814        20.2810469146303        77.8698200819416
