Yes, you can enter comma-delimited data in an ASCII editor or
spreadsheet (exported as comma-delimited ascii) and import it into
SC4. You can use one of several default sequences, or create your own
sequence with a header in each file or a global DOP file. Make sure
you have a carriage return at the end of the final line or it will be
ignored.
