Then you probably want to use the ImportText recipe:

    http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ImportText

This recipe makes it easy to import files, while automatically
keeping the .pageindex and targets= lines up-to-date.  It
also handles any problems arising from hitting PHP's
"maximum execution time" limits.

We should probably add a link to the PmWiki.PageFileFormat page
that points people to the Cookbook:ImportText option.  It's
probably also a good idea to put this as a FAQ in the PmWiki.FAQ
page.  (I'd do it now but I'm on a job site this week and can't 
easily get to it until the weekend.)
