The problem is getting the settings you want  - reverb, chorus, pan, program changes - 
into a track as events.  Without the MIDI > Insert Instrument MIDI Settings as Events thing,  
you have to do a workaround as far as I can tell.  Either enter them individually per track in 
the text editor or create a template and superimpose the template values on your file.
Unless you have these elemtnets as events per track,  many things won't play a Logic-
created midi file.
