Hi Anton,

Our table browser doesn't do joins (i.e. can't merge the mm9 and rn4 
data into a single output/list), so your best bet is to use our public 
MySQL server:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads.html#download29 (last section on 
page)

This query (or something similar) should get you what you need...

SELECT mm9.refGene.name AS "mm9GeneID",
        mm9.refGene.name2 AS "mm9GeneName",
        rn4.kgXref.geneSymbol AS "rn4GeneName",
        rn4.refGene.name AS "rn4GeneID"
   FROM  mm9.refGene, rn4.refGene, rn4.kgXref
   WHERE mm9.refGene.name2 = rn4.kgXref.geneSymbol
      AND   rn4.kgXref.refSeq = rn4.refGene.name
   ORDER BY mm9GeneName;

Just let me know if you have any additional questions.
