Copying a file structure?

[Matthew Williams]

Problem solved...  Created a new file in Filepro, pasted the structure
from the previous map file into the new one (everything but the first
line) and it picked it up and i'm back to where I need to be.
*mental note on using Filepros built in copy feature*

Thanks.
