Dan,

It's actually pretty easy to get at the data.  In my example, try something
like this:

----------------------------  UNTESTED CODE ------------------------------
function parseListData(sequence tabbedText)
  -- takes "x\ty\tz" and returns {x,y,z}

  integer x
  sequence returnData

  returnData = ""

  x = match("\t", tabbedText)
  while x do
    returnData = append(returnData, tabbedText[1..x-1])
    tabbedText = tabbedText[x + 1..length(tabbedText)]
    x = match("\t", tabbedText)
  end while

  return returnData
end function
