Building a database by procedure

Related to my question about importing a CSV file vs. simply opening a 
CSV file:

I can create a CSV file with column headers as record No. 1, and give it 
a specific name, but when I simply OPEN that file, my columns are 
numbered and the first record holds the names they should have.

Looking through options in the "info(" choices, it looks like all I can 
get would be the count of records, etc.

Question: what method would let me collect all contents of Record 1 into 
an array ("lineNum, title, author, blurb..." etc) and then set the names 
of the columns with that array? I will also need to add new columns and 
name those, and of course these all have to be in a specific order.

Can this be done?

Thanks for any pointers,

Steve
