John:  AHA!  I'll bet you're right!  I'll bet that's the old "keyboard
scripts"
that we used to define!   And I didn't even consider that it would save to
a WK? format...  Yeah, better I just give them delimited ascii.  Thanks
for that info!

I have tried 6.0 DOS and you are indeed correct (not that I doubted that).
Seems that, as you say Gateway then only dealt with script files (saved
keystrokes was it then according to the Help file ) and export was limited
to WK? files when it came to spreadsheet formats.   Sorry my memory was awry
on what could be done then.  Maybe the only option is to extract the data
using a series of UNLOAD commands and then massage the ASCII data back into
spreadsheets for importing.
