re-generate the ".es2" file with new parameters

[David McFarlane]

Thanks, liw.  For the record, PST documents "Loading a Stimuli Text 
File Into a List Object" in their Knowledge Base at 
http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=2707 .  That article 
goes back to 2006, and back then you could only load a List from a 
plain text file.  With 2.0.1.53 or later you can now also load Lists 
from Excel XML files, see http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=1220 .
