st: Re: convert data to CSV

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

Well, Microsoft Office Help for "CSV file" says that data items are  
separated by commas, so I don't know why Excel would expect that  
(unless a default preference has been altered). Perhaps European  
versions of MS Office behave differently because the comma is used as  
a digits separator. But RAY is on the same side of the pond as I am.
