Summary: Import of BE material?

Initial Comment:
If I have BE running on 2 computers (S,T), have the same project P loaded on 
both, and created a book B in P on S.
How to get B into P on T?
(I needed this for a 'common ancestor' for merge).

I looked for information how to import BE files, but did not find any for this 
in:
- http://bibledit.sourceforge.net/olh_import_text.html
- http://bibledit.sourceforge.net/import.html
- http://bibledit.sourceforge.net/task_import.html
- http://bibledit.sourceforge.net/olh_none.html
Checking in Help/Tools/File import does not tell


->? Is there a way to do this?
- If yes, I could not find it in the helpfile 
- (if not describeb, describe it there)
- If not, build this feature into BE.

Great that this can be done.

Looking at Help/Tools/File/Export (olh_none.html), is an empty file.

-> Add something like this to olh_none.html: using the export tool saves
files in the USFM format. 
As USFM files can be imported into BE, projects or books of projects can
be exchanged by export and import between different BE setups (e.g. on
different computers).

The way to do that is to export the usfm files from the one project and
the one computer, see http://bibledit.sourceforge.net/export.html. Then to
take that usfm file or usfm files if there are more than one, and import
them into the other project on the other computer, see
http://bibledit.sourceforge.net/task_import.html.
