Thanks, Joop... My log pane shows 12 fields (plus QSO number): Of the 18 
available for export, I selected the first 8, (skip 3), Power, (skip 3), 
and the last 3 (two user-named fields, and "remarks"). But my 
"saveastsv2" showed eight 1's, two 0's, 1, three 0's, 1, 0, 1, 1. It 
looks to me as if the string should have had 8 1's, 3 0's, 1, 3 0's, and 
3 1's.

There is also an Xlog 1.4 installed on this machine but I assume it uses 
the same preference file; using it made no difference.

I tried editing saveastsv2 as I think it should be, but so far to no 
effect. I'll keep playing with it.  I took a screenshot with part of the 
log at the top and, underneath it, what the TSV export (opened as a .csv 
text spreadsheet) looks like in StarOffice. Resolution isn't very high 
on  tinypic but maybe you can get the idea.
