Yes, I know how to do an export. <<< PLEASE RE-READ MY ORIGINAL QUESTION.
 THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM!!!

I want to do this automatically for approximately 300 MS-Word documents.
Some have been checked in 50 times.

What I want, is to do this AUTOMATICALLY <<<< repeat, ***AUTOMATICALLY***.

How do I do this? (wrap this in a for loop? under MS-Windows?) Get all the
documents out, using svn export, with the thousands of different revision
numbers, and create files which contains part of the revision number, like
this?

Legal_argument.doc.rev37.doc
Legal_argument.doc.rev567.doc
Legal_argument.doc.rev1234.doc
Regulations.doc.rev961.doc
Regulations.doc.rev1234.doc
Regulations.doc.rev5678.doc

All this information is in the repository: how do I get it out?

What I do NOT want to do, is to spend two days typing (and being
error-prone) to do it.

Hi Alf,

sound like a job for the command line subversion client.
Something like
   svn export -r revision-to-export url-to-repo-root path-to-folder
wrapped into a for loop should do what you want.
