Use a variable in an export path

[Bruce Easton]

You're welcome, Josh.

Your latest replies look OK here, but I had just noticed some of the 
earlier ones look like original posts when they were replies. Although, 
maybe Thunderbird is playing tricks here.  When I reply, I always hit 
reply and then replace the to address with a copy of the one for the forum.

I learned something today from this issue about export pathing. For 
other things -system commands I think you may need to include quotes 
around dirs/files that have spaces in them, so this was a bit of a surprise.
