Definitely will do this when I get home from work tonight.
Right now I'm ssh'ing into my box at home, but don't have an X-windows
server installed on my Win-bloze machine here at work.  It's too
difficult to edit the .csv file from a console with vim.  I need
x-windows so I can run OpenOffice spreadsheet to help see the file
better.

I'm wondering If I may need to reconfigure the fields using CREATE
TABLE, and add NULL to each field.  I know that the .csv file
definitely has blank cells scattered throughout that were never filled
in with text or integers.  I wonder if subsequent cell data is getting
moved because COPY won't accept empty space between comma separated
values.  Or is this not an issue.

Mike
