Currently you can't I'm afraid, which needs sorting out (this is why
the default action for "Process" on a .svx file currently still runs
cavern).
If you want to see that stats, I'd stick to using "Process" for now.

This works for me:
*set names /
*begin cave
*export survey.1/0
*begin survey
*export 1/0
1/0 1/1 1 2 3
1/1 1/2 2 3 4
*end survey
*end cave

Note that "*set" affects the _PARSING_ of the data, so you do need to
have it in effect for the "*export" and any other uses of the station
name, as well as the actual data - perhaps that's your issue?
