Well, I am glad that so many of us are trying Shoebox after my initial post
even if some of us are struggling to make it work.  I haven't tried
importing a file (been typing the text directly into an interlinear file in
Shoebox) so I can't help you there.  I'll give it a try later today to see
if I experience the same difficulties.  If all else fails, you might try
setting up an interlinear database type and opening a new file of that type.
You could then cut and past from your original text into the interlinear
file adding the \t tag where appropriate.
