Send driver string at runtime.

Hello,

I've coded a routine to export a .tps file to an ascii .csv file using
the comma delimited BASIC file driver. I'd like to provide the option
of creating a tab-delimited file using the same file structure by
sending the "/comma=9" string like this:

if filetype = 'T'
send(Customers,'/comma=9')
end

create(contacts)
access:contacts.open
CUSTXT:Fname = CUS:Fname
CUSTXT:Lname = CUS:Lname
access:customers.insert()
access:contacts.close

The data fields are surrounded by quotes and is delimited by a comma
even though I sent the string to delimit by the tab character. The
driver string works ok in the dictionary file properties, but I would
like to do this at runtime.

Any help would be appreciated.
