If you want to try out my solution to this problem, check out my
hand-built Export Dialog.  You can find it on ftp.scri.fsu.edu in the
directory /pub/4d.  This is one dialog/one procedure solution to the
question "Why can't I call the built-in 4D Export dialog from the
language?" 

My dialog gives you a choice of any file in the database, any exportable
field in the selected file, and your own ordering for fields.  I also
allow the user to Display the selected records and Search for a new set
of records.

I'm playing around with adding an Import option to the dialog, and will
send it up to ftp.scri.fsu.edu when I've got it done.
