Thanks for the reply.
 
I tried this, but Wireshark just hung when trying "Save All" (been sitting there for 30 minutes now. The pcap is small - only 90K).  I'll try saving only select objects, etc. later and see if that works better.  Have you been using it w/o problems?

If the file is transferred using HTTP, you could try File > Export >
Objects > HTTP.
