<<Make the folder something you can set in user.prefs, so if you want the objects saved to a different folder, you can have it do that.

<<Les Orchard, in a comment, said he couldn't remember how to export an object, which is fair because there is no UI for it in the OPML Editor. That's ridiculous. I added a call to this as a command to the Misc menu.
