import processing must us .wp extension

Dennis,

All IMPORT/EXPORT filenames are assumed to end with .wp if you do not 
indicate a name with an extension.  If you want a different extension 
just indicate it.

export ascii file=filename r=\n f=,

is the same as

export ascii file=filename.wp r=\n f=,

If you want the filename without an extension, you need to set an 
environment variable

PFADDWP=OFF

I usually add this line:

put "PFADDWP" , "OFF"

to the beginning of any table that has EXPORT or IMPORT.

That will take care of it.  You can also put it permanently in the 
config table.

Does that help?

Nancy
