I can't figure out how to convert a Scid database to PGN format. Scid refuses to create a new PGN database, says error in the index file. So I opened a new FILE.PGN with Notepad. That's simple enough. Then I opened FILE.PGN with Scid. That went OK. Then I opened the Scid database file that I want to convert. Then I opened a Scid database switcher window, which shows both. But it won't let me drag the Scid database into FILE.PGN -- says it is "Read Only". OK, I remember that nonsense from awhile back, and believe the method is to use the Export to PGN operation in the Scid Tools menu. So I opened the list of games window for the Scid database. But I can't figure out how to highlight (select) all of the games. The usual contest (rightclick) menu doesn't have a "select all" option, and I don't see it elsewhere. So how the hell do I select all of the games, so I can export them? It's extremely frustrating to try to figure this shit out. I used to know how to do it and wrote it down somewhere, but now I can't find it. And I can't find anything in the unintegrated Scid help menu. Thanx. WP
