Hi Ben,

Yes, this is still an issue with the table browser. There are two ways 
to work around this. One way would be to use the table browser to export 
the file as a BED to Galaxy and then use Galaxy's BED-to-GFT converter. 
If you have a question about Galaxy's services, please feel free to 
contact them at [email protected].

Alternatively, you could install the kent source utilities on your 
computer to use our genePredToGtf program to convert this file: 
http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/strPur2/database/refFlat.txt.gz to 
GTF. You can find instructions about downloading and installing kent 
source utilities here: 
http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#source_downloads and here: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/admin/jk-install.html, with the source code 
download residing here: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/jksrc.zip.

I hope this information is helpful.  Please feel free to contact the 
mail list again if you require further assistance.

Best,
Mary
