Just don't get bitten by the bug.  Remember that, upon opening the "Export"
dialog, you have < 2 seconds to select from the pop-up menu before it
freezes and won't let you play.  Very frustrating until some KIND soul
posted here about it.  I thought I only had the choice of "Tab Delimited Text"
for the longest time ;-)
