exporting MEMO along with other data

[Mike Fedkiw]

Since the ""{ didn't make any difference it's looking like I'm headed in 
the direction you said in your reply but I'm already having issues.

Everywhere I've looked there's just no examples of exporting the MEMO 
other than the little bit in the help file to help me.

I'm doing a sub routine to export the MEMO field but nothing works, 
examples below.

=======================================================

expmemo◄ If:
                Then: MEMO invy(367) EXPORT "memo"

=======================================================

expmemo◄ If:
                Then: MEMO invy(367) EXPORT "memo.txt"

=======================================================

expmemo◄ If:
                Then: MEMO invy(367) EXPORT "c:\memo"

=======================================================

expmemo◄ If:
                Then: MEMO invy(367) EXPORT "c:\memo.txt"

=======================================================

Some just got the above got stuck on a black screen, some caused memory 
errors, etc...

Can someone give me an example, any example of exporting a memo field 
into a file?

I just hoping the readline stuff will be easier to do because I've never 
had to use that for anything either.
