Figured it out - just after sending last email, of course.
If anyone is interested, the trick was to go past the Patch Set page in i1Proflier to the Test Chart page. When you hit "Page Data - Save" from that page, there is an option to save a text file in Profilemaker5 CGATS format. ColorPort can import that file just fine.
I must say, i1Profiler sure is an 'interesting' exercise in User Interface design...
Off to do more testing. Scott, thanks for the help!

Either option - .pxf and .cxf - produced by "Page Data - Save", look the same when opened with the text editor, and neither is formatted anything like the ECI 2002.

When I go to build new target, and Import Patches, ColorPort sees the .pxf (and a resaved .txt version), but then just throws up a "There was an error importing this file" error.
