What is a LST file?

Please— what is an LST file and how can I open it?

or can I just delete it?

A text file created by the GEDCOM import process. It contains any data that could not be understood by RM. It can be opened by Notepad or Wordpad. However I would recommend that you have a text editor that can number the lines so you can find what person the errors apply to in the GEDCOM.

@BobC --appreciate the quick response-- I had tried both word pad and note pad before and all I got was HTML BUT this time Note pad worked and in each instance it said

Yes you can definitely delete it. It would have a message that something was ignored if there were a problem.
