[Qgis-user] rephrased;. import 3D line into a shapefile?

[mtnbiketrail at zzz.com]

Okay, let me rephrase the question. I did look at ogr2ogr, csv file 
import. I have a 3D line, but only the beginning vertex has x,y,z. The 
line is a survey of a cave, so only the entrance has a latitude, 
longitude, and z coordinate. The rest are relative to the control point. 
Any suggestions on how to import that?
