Thank you for being more specific, but I still seem to be having 
problems with this export page.  The good part is that I am now 
getting the XML prompt and am able to download the file that is being 
produced.  The bad part is that no matter what I enter in the text 
box, I always get the EXACT SAME FILE which is nothing more than a 
list as follows:

<mediawiki xmlns="http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.4/"; 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.4/ 
http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.4.xsd"; version="0.4" 
xml:lang="en">
