The dbx files in OE5 and OE6 are the same.
As long as you have folders.dbx, you can do a File, Import.

Thanks for that Ron. Are there any implications with the 'old' folders.dbx,
containing the same (or different or nested) folder names than are in the
'current' folders.dbx?
Or is the File, Import facility clever enough to sort that out?
If it gets snarled up with nesting, presumably I can manually re-arrange
things after the file transfer?
