Don't know that the answer to that, but it would be worth a look. Jarnac
doesn't have very good string handling facilities at the moment (didn't have
any need for them) which presumably you would need in order to dissect KEGG
txt files (assuming they exist). I'd be more than happy however to make the
necessary change to make this possible. I think DBSolve has some sort of
import facility (However I believe Glaxo are going to commercialise
DBSolve), didn't Stefan Shuster get some of his pathway info from one of the
data bases, it may have been KEGG.
