OK - got it. Setting the dgText doesn't apply names to columns, even
if firstLineContainsColumnNames is true. It *matches* the names in the
first line to already-existing names in the header and puts the data
into the matching column, if it exists. That makes some sense, and
even offers a lot of flexibility. But it certainly isn't intuitive,
and there's no way I could have gotten that from the lessons online.
