Helmut,

I was using the GUI's location wizard rather than the command line. I will
enter in trac a requiest to clarify the language.

I've used the GUI's location wizard before without having the .prj file
rejected as unreadable. It's been a couple of months since I last imported a
shapefile and I well might have pointed to the .shp files before. As Markus
wrote, specifing a .prj file certainly looks appropriate when the widget
askes for a well-known projection file.

Regards,

Rich
