hmm, minor improvements (and to kill off the quotes):

put URL "file:Stories/Westwind" into vArr
repeat for each line x in vArr   -- faster than with i= notation
   -- separate fields
   put item 1 of x into vName
   put item 2 of x into vID
   put item 3 of x into vMail

   -- delete quotes
   delete char 1 of vName
   delete char 1 of vID
   delete char 1 of vMail
   delete the last char of vName
   delete the last char of vID
   delete the last char of vMail

   -- place into fields: note this will only result in the last line of 
the file being in the fields, since
   -- it replaces the former contents each time.  modify as needed to 
fix this

   put vName into field "Name"
   put vID into field "ID"
   put vMail into field "Email address"
end repeat
