Thanks for your unhelpful and rude response.  I thought I spelled out my use
case and specification quite clearly (press button, choose file, automatically
load with all the columns set to text format), and asked what else might be
necessary to clarify.  I would very much like to "write a routine to solve a
problem once for all times", but you are unable to help with that; that's ok,
but a little less rudeness would be nice.
