File > New creates a CSV which is generic and can be imported into any radio. The Dstar fields will only be imported into radios that support Dstar. You can ignore them.
I hope that answers your questions. I wasn't able to spot a second sentence in the form of a question in your email.

My experience with a Baofeng UV-5RC is that I must download from the radio to obtain an appropriate *.img file which I modified and then uploaded to the radio. Trying to use a CSV file was hopeless. With the correct img file there are 2 buttons in the upper left DSTAR and Conventional (by some other name). I hope this helps you with the thf6a which I know is a different breed. I had to go to the bottom of the USB selection to get the right connection for Ubuntu. Fred VA6FRM

Leonard,
You never want to start with File | New.
Once you download from your radio, you have a template for your radio. The File | Save | "OriginalChannels.img as an example. Then do a File | Save As | TH-F6.img to make a working file. Now load TH-F6 whenever you want to edit you channels. Save them back to TH-F6.img and upload them to your radio.
