export value lists in FM9?

Is there a way to export value lists in Filemaker 9? I'd like to see
plain-text or csv data for the value lists in a particular file.

No, but you can put the value list items into a text field, and print 
or export that.

See the design functions and the help regarding them for how to get the 
values into the field.

Sorry steven,

but did you even try the help-file?

ValueListItems(fileName;valuelist)

and you might think about not using a hard-coded valuelist but a table, then 
base the valuelist on the table contents. Makes exporting also very easy and 
for larger valuelist (or changing valuelists) I would advise this last 
approach.
