Abobe Premiere 6.0 Photo Montage

Many years ago, the magazine VideoMaker had a small blurb on how to
create a photo montage in Adobe Premiere 6.0 by numbering photo files
(jpegs) and placing them in a project timeline through a single folder
import, then additing a default transition to each of the images. I
remember the process was a timesaver. Would anyone out there happen to
remember the process involved?
