The TransferText method will not permit the import of an external text file
that has a non-standard file extension (e.g., custom ext used by a separate
program). If I manually change the file extension to .txt, it is accepted.
I only want the user to have to select a file that is then programmatically
imported and processed, not to have to intervene in any manual manipulation.

Can an additional file extension be added to the list of acceptable text
file extensions? Or what other means is available to complete the import?
