How to edit a CSV file so that it automatically has a feet setting within the file

This idea came about after downloading the RedLight and Speed camera files...
They all work, but I notice on the Redlight and Speed camera files, when seen by POI loader, automatically have Feet distances programmed into them....
So I opened up the Redlight and Speed cam files in Excel, but cannot find anything in them that would seem to point to this setting....
My plan is to edit a distance into the other files, so I don't have to do them manually...
I assume this is placed in the .csv file, but can't seem to determinie where...
Brief brose through FAQ's didn't cover that exact subject, so I post here...
Thanks in advance

Info from PoiLoader help.
If the file name contains "redlight", POI Loader assumes all records in the file have proximity alerts with a distance of 400m/0.25 miles.
If a file contains "GATSO," "mobile," "SPECS," "safety," "speed," or "camera," but does not have a speed, POI Loader uses a default alert speed of 0, which means you will always be alerted. You can override this default value by entering the speed in Manual mode.
You can also enter speeds for each POI individually by adding the @ symbol and a number after the name of the POI. For example, a Custom POI named "Ridgeview@25" would create a POI named "Ridgeview" with a 25 mph speed alert.
POI Loader calculates proximity alert distance based on speed. You can enter proximity alert distance for individual Custom POIs in a gpx file. You can also enter proximity alert distance for all Custom POIs in a data file using Manual mode.
You can download http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/Extra_POI_Editor and convert files to gpx for setting the alerts for all the pois.Handy setting to change all alert proximities at one time.Select edit,replace field then use the down arrow to select proximity.Then put the distance you want for all pois.Then select all.
