I would like to be able to export the cities within a teritory or a drive time area. How can this be done?

I think it would be tough.. you might explore the reverse geocoding articles (3) here: http://www.mp2kmag.com/articles.asp

THis would only give you metro areas whose center point happened to lie within the shape, but you can do a demographic map (just pick any old demographic) of "Metropolitan Statistical Areas," then right click on the shape and choose export to excel to get a list of MSA's whose center point lies within the shape.

(Getting a list of postal codes within a shape would be better, if that's not too granular for you. Follow the same procedure, but map the demographic by zip instead of MSA.)
