No pipe dream.  Use;

APPEND FROM filename FIELDS field1, field2, .... fieldn DELIMITED TYPE SDF

-- or additionally --

......... DELIMITED WITH delimiter ...

In the first case the double quote is the defaulted delimiter and the
second case it is specified.  For the first case the fields should look like;

"field one stuff","field two stuff", .... ,"field en stuff"

The second case is left as an exersize.:-)  Thats all.
