Make your data into an HTML table.

describing lengths. For example, we might sell something whose dimensions are:
2"x3"x10'
Even so, your info was helpful if I know my data will not have double quotes.
Anyone else have an idea?

Dunno, how about converting double quotes in the data to single quotes?
Or stripping them out entirely?

Cool.
Here is the next wrinkle. What if my UniData data has (or may have)
quotes in it? Am I out of luck or is there some alternate way to get
the same result? Is there something like in other languages that you
could convert double quotes in the raw data to "/q" or whatever, and
Excel would know how to handle this?

Yes, if you quote-delimit all your fields then it's possible to pass
@VMs as line feeds, and it will do what you want.

We have lots of programs that export our data from UniData to
tab-delimited text files. Some of these are opened by Excel (which has
its faults), some are imported into other databases. These files will
be 1) E-mailed as attachments or written to specific location on the
network.
If I know that the users will always use Excel to open the attachment, I
usually make the file extension "xls" so that it simply fires up Excel
when double-clicked and parses everything out reasonably cleanly (but
still drops leading zeros, converts big numbers to scientific notation,
etc).
We are using UniData on HP-Unix.
Is there a good way to convert @VMs to something that Excel will
correctly convert to what would be equivalent to the Alt+Enter in Excel?
I do not want the data on multiple rows - I want multiple lines with
breaks within a single row/cell.
