It does.  There is no 262 character limit on subfiles.  However, if you are
exporting numeric values, they are written in their native binary format.
You must convert all numeric items to strings if you want to export
information for applications that cannot read subfiles directly.  That can
be a lot of work.

While the "more complex" solution is probably better, you can get Leonard's
to work by turning on the "Display Functions" before you press the tab key.
