I removed the panic file format's implementation a while ago because I
don't believe it has even the slightest chance of working. You can
probably save allright but the odds of getting a file read again are
pretty low.

I probably forgot to remove the panic file format from the documentation
though. Is it also still in the curses menus ?

As you suspect, CSV is comma separated list.
