Cubase 6.5 was producing MIDI files with no data.
It seems to have something to do with Automation, Inserts and Sends in the MIDI export window.
When all 3 are unticked and Export Inspector Patch and Export Inspector Volume/Pan are ticked the output MIDI file appears correct.
The reply below refers to my initial suggestion of going back to 6.0 .
Thanks

I don’t know about the MIDI export thing, but 6.5 being on your e-Licenser gives you a license to use all previous versions. So nothing will change there, the license remains for 6.5 and nothing gets messed up.
Thanks Arjan.
I could go back to 6.0 or even Studio 4 then. It’s worth a try.
However if anyone has an idea about the specific problem, that would be good too.
P.S. it worked. Rather than overwrite 6 I installed Studio 4, where the projects had originally been created, and exported from there.
I should have an User Aphorism. I think it should be Samuel Beckett’s
