This would make sense, except that it plainly states in the documentation that it is 
supposed to work. When I go to the options menu in exsp, and select soundfont 
convert, it says something to the effect of "place the .sf2 file in the sampler 
instruments directory and select it from the pull-down menu, and it will automatically 
be converted. When I try to do this, the dialog box that normally says "converting 
soundfont instrument bank" pops up for a fraction of a second, but goes away before 
it gets started. The soundfont file then becomes grayed out in the pulldown menu.
