Another idea might be to export as .sql database, load that with sqlite 
("sqlite> .read cave.sql") and query the coordinates of the station.
See THBook, . 62 for details of the tables, but the stations table has 
xyz cooridnates to query.

That aproach can be easily automated via shell scripting, if needed in 
batch or repetive.
