Quark entity brushlish problems

I'm having problems exporting from Quark. I created a new .map, erased everything in it and added a wall and assigned a texture to it. I was using hammer but when I found out about the licensing fun I am trying to get quark to work for me.

Here is my error message:
------------------------------------------

I don't know how you created the map but that's not 220 format even though it says mapversion "220".
Each plane should look something like this:

( 9727 2846 5286 ) ( 9751 2846 5286 ) ( 9751 2864 5286 ) stucco_dk [ 1.00000 -0.00002 0.00000 -9790.72975 ]  [ -0.00001 -1.00000 0.00000 -2910.33415 ]  0  1.00000 -1.00001

Note the sections in square brackets.

Okay, I'll go over how to set up quark again. It's probably something simple I'm not doing. Thanks for your response

Okay, I feel stupid. :) It turns out I had Quark misconfigured to have no default Output Map Format. Turns out I should have had it at Valve 220 format all along.
