Can I edit the .tpf file that the Text Wizard creates?

Troubleshooting


Problem

I have SPSS for Windows. I know that at the final step of the Text Import Wizard I can choose to save a file format for future use. That way, if I have other files that use the same variable names and other settings, I don't need to specify all of the settings. But, is there a way to change a few entries in the .tpf file that is created in a program such as WordPad? For example, if I want to redefine one variable as date, rather than numeric.
