If you can create a DBF file instead you could use fTools' "Join Attributes".
If that's not possible, you could probably use OpenOffice to create a DBF from
that file.

Just for the record.  Given a recent GDAL (ie >=1.6) you don't need the table
manager to add fields to shapes anymore.  GDAL and in turn QGIS can do it on
it's own.
