Actually, now that I've tried that, I'm getting prompted for a
filename when I evaluate that.

Evaluating (org-export-string "plain plain *bold* plain" "html")
prompts me (in the minibuffer) with...

File to save in: /tmp/

I can't see any obvious s-exp in the definition of org-export-string
that would be bringing up the prompt.  Aside from the prompt, this
function is exactly what I want.  Any idea how I could get rid of the
prompt so I can run the function non-interactively?
