shrug-l: Add text to an attribute of a point from a text file.

[Kevin L. Laird]

A few months ago I submitted a request for help. Unfortunately no one on =
the list was able to help but several people were also interested in the =
problem.
Here is a small script that will do the following:
Request for file name and path (This will link to a text file with the =
information to be added to the points)
Wait for you to create a point using Editor in ArcMap V9.2=20
When Point is created it will assign text to the attribute field for the =
point.
This is set up for my use and you would be needed to change things to =
make it work for you.
Good Luck
