*SM admins,

  Thanks for all the responses on my conversion
help request. It's a relief knowing that we don't have to
export/import for this. I guess I just got confused
in sifting through the postings. I think I learn more
from observing this group than I do from the actual
documentation. I hope to be able to contribute to
it some day; in the mean time I'll just keep watching 
and learning. 

  Thanks again to all who responded !
