Thank you, Gunnar, for the announcement (see quote below).
I wrote this small app for my own use and find it very handy to keep my item
texts in a flat, continuing, portable text file as well as in my LM database,
automatically. It uses the nifty XML import capabilities of LM.

If you are interested, download it at:
http://home.snafu.de/~uku/txlm/txt2lm.zip
It is a small download, less than 50k.
The zip file includes a description.

Enjoy,

Ulrich
