What kinds of data/files can be IMPORTED/EXPORTED

Xess allows you to import various types of data files into your
worksheet.  These are as follows:


	Worksheet Abbreviation		Type of File
	-----------------------------------------------------------
		WK1/WKS		|	spreadsheet format
				|	  (Lotus 1-2-3, Excel, etc)
		CSV		|	Comma separated variables
		TSV		|	Tab separated variables
		Text		|	Text only (even numbers will be text!)
		Xess Cells	|	Cells exported from Xess
	-----------------------------------------------------------

Note: If you import a spreadsheet (WK1/WKS) it will replace the entire
worksheet you are currently working on, as opposed to just inserting it
from the current cell position.

Xess can also export to all of the above formats, as well as LaTeX.  The
LaTeX file produced will be in the tabular environment, and can just be
included in any LaTeX document.  Xess doesn't have a "text" option, but
CSV and TSV are both ascii (text) formats.
