[mapserver-users] Creating and editing UTF8 shape files

[Christy Nieman]

Ian,

For future QGIS-related questions, QGIS user's list email address is 
here: qgis-user at lists.osgeo.org

To import a delimited text file, there is a plugin called "Add Delimited 
Text Layer".  It can then be saved to a shapefile by right-clicking on 
it in the list of Layers on the left.

Regards,
Christy
