yeah, exactly.  Oh, let me add "with a newline after Another row with text". 

(Or perhaps: a tab delimited file with text in columns.  Or maybe:  a text file,
with columns separated by tabs and records separated by newlines.  Or: A CSV
file, except with tabs instead of commas... I am a little bit surprised at the
level of drama my original specification elicited ...)

If you have time at some point, could you point me at the functions you would
think of first to do this?  I tried to record a macro but all I got was an empty
Main function.
