Asked and answered!

It appears that in 6.0.1  Export["outfile",dat,"CSV"]  is implemented  
as (or at least behaves like) Export 
["outfile",dat,"table",FieldSeparators->","].

So, I can get any delimiter by changing the fieldSeparators  
option...plus the documentation on the table format is much more  
extensive than the documentation on the csv format.

Thanks in advance for your help, plus any other helpful inputs I  
receive...
