To import a Comma Separated Values text file in to NotePager Pro to add or update Groups, the file must be formatted very, very specifically.
The specific data structure of each record is as follows:
"Version","Name","FullName","Id","Carrier","MaxChars","Alpha","OnCall","AdHoc","DropControl","Group","SendSubject","RemoveFrom","Extra1","Extra2","Priority"
