@gkeshet:

In order to know the format of the Text file to be imported, I would suggest you to create a concept map, then export it as "Propositions as Text..." (File/Export Cmap As...).

Per line file will will contain:

concept [TAB] linking phrase [TAB] concept [RETURN]

For example:
Plants [TAB] have [TAB] Roots [RETURN]
Plants [TAB] have [TAB] Leaves [RETURN]
Sunlight [TAB] helps [TAB] Plants [RETURN]

> Secondly, how do I keep the files with the html that i send others?

By default the concept maps are stored under "My Documents/My Cmaps". The concept map files extension is ".cmap". So, you can attach the ".cmap" files to your messages.

The other option is to export the concept maps as CXL files, then attach the CXL files to the messages, and finally import back the CXL files. The CXL files also handles resources attached to concept maps.
