I was able to find the export feature under find. Could you let me know where 
the import feature is? Or how I turn it on.

Oops, I frogot to document this, thank you for reminding me. You have to add the
"CSV Import" command manually to the list of menu commands, like:

Find menu commands = New, Find, Select, Config, CSV Import, Help

I was wondering if I should make this as the default, but many people maybe do not
have the demand of having CSV Import, so it might be annoying for them. What do
you think?

I needed the export feature and could not find documentation on it in the latest 
version. I finally read the code and added Find Menu Text = <filename>
where filename had the tags XML, CSV1, and CSV2
This always exports all records. Shouldn't it just export the records appearing in 
the window?
Also, there is a CSV Import menu item, why isn't there CSV Export? Or just Export 
with radio buttons controlling the format.
(BTW, the XML export is not valid. Internet Explorer complains about the first line)

Great Software. Love it. Keep up the good work!

Exporting workes as follows: Click on "Find", and switch the radio button to XML or CSV.
If you click on "Search", you will be prompted where to save the resulting "export.xml"
or "export.csv". I did this through the search page because you can then specify som
filters, in order not to export all records.

The XML charset in the first line was missing. I fixed that, new version under CVS. Or
you can manually change the first line to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Thanks much!! I can't believe I missed seeing those options. Works great. (There is a 
danger to having the source code. You tend to read it instead of looking at the way the 
program works )

BTW,
Is there any way to turn off the Text column at the right side of the list?

Congratulation Stefan and Co.!

I think Elog is the first Weblog which supports this feature.

The new integrated HTML WYSIWYG editor is great. Now, my colleagues who are in finance department and don't have good IT-skill will be very happy about this feature.

Thank you for your support and effort.
