In my opinion that is either a bug in filepro or a bug
in the documentation.  I don't think the -a option has
ever worked with export word.  It does however work
with export ascii.  So one simple work-around for this
would be the following export line that mimics export
word:

export ascii act = /tmp/grexp r=10 f=, o=" c=" -a
