CSV export issues

Thanks for all the suggestions.


You cannot use the double-quote (chr("34") as an argument in filePro.

If you try

	c=chr("34")

c comes back empty.

You can't use chr("34") in expressions for functions like INSTR, MID,
STRTOK, XLATE, oe MID.

But I still found a pot at the end of my rainbow, by changing

	export word rpt=/usr/tmp/report.csv

to

	export ascii rpt=/usr/tmp/report.csv r=\n f=,

That still leaves the trivial issue of editing strings containing
commas, but I now have a CSV file which contains output like

	1-1/4" 2FL W/ 3/4" SH
	3/4" 4FL SEEM CARB 7"OAL
