Hi Fred,
Just a few comments:

Note that you can import multiple text files in one pass using multiple selection
of files in file dialog (available by holding down SHIFT or CTRL keys during making selection
with a mouse).
Also: less than 2 minutes for 99MB file - not bad at all? This is one of the "quiet" improvement
made in version 3.4. ASCII import is now 10 times faster then in v3.3!

Yes it is possible using OLE automation (an example will appear on the www.amibroker.com soon)

I will check it again (strange because I haven't had such problems before).

Yes, and it can be also automated using OLE interface of AmiBroker.
And thank you Fred for trying AmiBroker!
Best regards,
