Hey Francis,
the 4 steps you made should work with DS 1.8 as well.
Are you sure that gdal doesn't support .asc files?
I don't have any .asc files to really test this but I created an empty dummy .asc file. Then I clicked on the load layer button in DemoMap and could have selected the dummy .asc file when "All supported files" was selected for file type.
