Yes I posted http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.bbdb.user/3830 but nobody knows the answer.

If you find a bug in BBDB, please report a recipe how the bug can be reproduced. Yet I do not recognize the bug in BBDB you are possibly trying to report. If you have a question about usage of BBDB, please post it via the BBDB mailing list bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net, describing in clear words what you are trying to achieve.

I tried other-window 2 other-window 3 etc. But they don't work.
I also tried
PR=(progn\
(bbdb-display-all-records)\
(switch-to-buffer "BBDB")\
(write-file "abb.txt"))

Also I note a redisplay call in bbdb-display-all-records with some mention of a bug. Maybe this is what is making this so hard for me.

Please document a basic way for users to get their data back out of BBDB3.

Nothing I tired works now in BBDB3.

I used to be able to do this in BBDB2.

I cannot proceed without a way to get my data back out.

Thank you.

oPR=(progn\
(let ((window-min-height 1))(bbdb "." t))\
(other-window 1)\
(bbdb-display-all-records nil)\
(set-buffer-file-coding-system (quote utf-8-unix) nil)\
(write-file "abb.txt"))
PR=(with-temp-buffer\
(bbdb-display-all-records)\
(set-buffer-file-coding-system (quote utf-8-unix) nil)\
(write-file "abb.txt"))
nPR=(progn\
(bbdb-display-all-records)\
(other-window 1)\
(write-file "abb.txt"))
