exporting MEMO along with other data

[Bill Randall]

I do not have 5.0.05 to test with but I am pretty sure we have been doing this internally since early 5.0
It does work this way in 5.7 and higher.
Note the syntax for handling memo fields is a little different than regular fields.
When assigning it, precede it with {""

     invfile(42)=""{invy(367)
