Look in the Moho manual, Appendix section, "Magpie Setup". Magpie Pro has built-in support for Moho, but for the regular Magpie you need to define a custom output format.

When you save the file, put ".dat" at the end of the filename. So, instead of "myfile", you would save "myfile.dat".

If that doesn't do it, try opening the file in Notepad (it's really just text anyway). What does it look like in Notepad?
