This would work to write more than one record.  This is the method I use 
and you can write as many records as you want.  If you close the export, 
you can then open another with different parameters also. I would change 
it as follows:

declare first, second
exp(1)=first;exp(2)=second;gosub wrtit
exp(1)=first;exp(2)=second;gosub wrtit
end
wrtit:   export WORD exp=(of)
	exp(1)=first;exp(2)=second;write;first="";second="";return
