I built my surface by importing points directly, ie, not through the ribbon, so i have no points listed in prospector. i have been editing the points (mostly deleting errant survey points) and would like to export the final data set. The only step i found, was to show points in surface style, and then Extract Objects (of which i selected Points).
This seems to have no placed all the points into my DWG, but HOW do I export this files into a single text file??
thanks!

On the Points pulldown (Home tab, Create Ground Data panel) use the Convert AutoCAD Points function. Make a group from the resultant COGO points. Export the group.

Also, what does OP stand for?
I still need a single file with the final points. That is, i need to a list of points that will closely reflect the 4 orignal files i imported minus the deleted points, and updated data as well, including long feature lines with elevations added!
Cheers

Civil 3d points are very different from ordinary ACad points. C3d points have point numbers, and can have names also. They can have descriptions, and other data attached to them. You can apply styles to control the look of the points, and their labels. The software also has many tools for manipulating C3d points, and using them in various ways.
If you need a point file which includes all of the edited surface TIN points then extracting them from the surface, converting the ACad points to C3D cogo points and then exporting those is likely your best option.

EDIT - Jeff's solution is better if you just want a simple csv file.
Expand the points dropdown in the Home tab of the ribbon. Or if you prefer the menu bar it's Points -> Utilities -> Convert from AutoCAD points.
Before creating points, open up the dialog and get the creation setttings correct. All prompts to automatic should fix your problem.
Creating 1M points in a drawing is probably going to bog down your hardware. You should probably set the Point style and Label style defaults for the _All Points group to <none> so that the software isn't trying to show the new cogo points in the graphics.
