I have a big table (with #+NAME: mytable).  I can export it to a CSV file=
 by=20
hand by having the point somewhere in the table and running

M-x org-table-export

but how could I do this from a source block?  I've got one line so far, b=
ut how=20
would I get it to be in the table when it runs?  There's nothing else in =
this=20
file, just a table and then this source block.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(org-table-export "/tmp/mytable.csv" "orgtbl-to-csv")
#+END_SRC

Any help appreciated!
