Thank You Very Much And Kudos To Pa Bear!
Correction please! When I try to open a folder --- it is empty! Therefore I must Copy all needed folders and including
Folders.dbx; I didn't put a check mark to remove Read Only attributes because it is already unchecked; and When I do Import from
OE-6 I can see and select the needed Folders by holding down Ctrl key and shebang all is done. What a beautiful world we're living
now if you can help a fellow OE-6 user. ;o) Rino

You must (1) Copy all DBX files, including Folders.dbx to your HDD and then (2) remove any Read Only attributes they might have
before being able to (3) import the whole shebang into your new Identity.

To import a single DBX file, see http://www.insideoe.com/faqs/how.htm#importdbx or the last paragraph on this page:

  Hi Pa Bear,
  Thanks for all the Info's but I still cannot do about it. Can you give
  me a simple answer maybe one step at a time.
  I already have a folder named friends.dbx and it is (not) Read Only.
  Tell me what should I do now? How I can make this 2nd OE-6 read
  friends.dbx?
