Of course last night I missed the easiest way; you should be able to 
do a bulk dump directly into AN editor. In the toolbar directly above 
editor, there are also icons for "transmit AN bulk dump data" 
and "recieve an1x bulk dump data". (The plg card in S80 saves to 
smartmedia as .s2b file, so I've never done a bulk dump to editor). I 
use XG works lite only as a launching pad for editors and to load 
existing .mid 
files...
