Converting DP5 files to PT LE... HOW 2 DO IT?

I have a bunch of older 2" stuff to mix and I will probebly transfer it over to my DP5 rig.
This part is a no-brainer and I have the neccesary cables and interfaces.

My friend who is paying me to do this also has a ProTools LE rig and would like the multitrack files to play with.

Once I have the files recorded into DP5, how do we convert it to something that PT LE will play back?

I posted this same question on the "Computers in Music" forum, but there are more people here and I'm sure somone will know the answer.
I also do not have my DP5 manual with me.

I don't have DP5, but a simple and foolproof method would be to go to soundbites window, highlight all, and go to menu and choose 'export all files' as wav, 24bit. Pick a folder to export to for each song. Then he opens a folder and imports all the files into his PT LE. This would be assuming all the files start at the same spot in the sequence. If they don't, you could go to the tracks window, highlight an area to the left of the count off, delete everything so all the files have the same start point, and then go to the soundbites window and do the 'select unused soundbites' command, followed by the 'delete' command. Now, all your soundbites should have the same starting point and you can export them.
Or just go to the help menu in DP and find the easy way.
Whatever you do, just do one song and then see if it works on the other system.
