Mike, GEDCOM is an acronym for GEnealogy Data COMmunication. It is a way for all genealogy programs to talk to each other.
In Legacy, click on File, then Export. The screens will walk you through the process. When you are done, create a new family (I like to call mine "Test") and then go to File then Import and bring your GEDCOM back in. This way, you can see what you are doing and how a GEDCOM works. Then delete your Test family as you don't want to accidentally enter data into that one!
