Attributes in ASCII files

Is there a way to have attributes included when importing ASCII files?
ie:
NAME=Area
ALTITUDE=FL160 - FL270
DATE=12 Nov 14
TIME=1200 - 1400Z
etc, etc.
ie:
NAME=Area
ALTITUDE=FL160 - FL270
DATE=12 Nov 14
TIME=1200 - 1400Z
etc, etc.

Sean,
Yes, we can import feature attributes. Just list them after the feature DESCRIPTION. Here is an example of 2 points with attributes that can be imported as a text (*.xyz) file:
DESCRIPTION=Unknown Point Feature
MyAttribute1=123
MyAttribute2=456
ELEVATION=11.917
515136.993,4915655.354,11.917
DESCRIPTION=Unknown Point Feature
MyAttribute1=111
MyAttribute2=222
515324.478,4915595.715,21.795
There is a page in the help file called "Loading Generic ASCII Text" that gives all the gory details.
Hope this helps.
