Is there any way to import a list of servers when creating custom lists?

I am running HP SIM 4.2 with 4,500 servers. I was looking at the Systems List/Customize function and found I could create a Custom System list by selecting "server Name" then "is" and then I can select the server name from a drop down list. This works fine, but what I would like to do, is instead of selecting from the drop down list, I would like to import a text file of server names to creat my custom list? Is this possible? If not through the gui, then is it possible through the command line mx tools? Or possibly some other way?

Thanks...

Any chance you could point me in the right direction for changing the location in the directory tree of a query like this, say to put it directly under the "Shared" category?

Figured it out.
Need to create it a a group using mxngroup.exe This causes a collection to be created.

Is there a way to use wild cards in adding systems to collections via mxquery or mxcollection? Or do you need to have a full "server" name to add?
