Then Edit/Openings Book/Import Games... Now the book you want to import to, your new book in this case, should be open in the GUI. Select the *.cbh file of games that you wish to import and all should go well. Now if you had started with a book (*.ctg) that had games in it you might get a message saying "New positions : 0" if indeed a the positions were in said book already. But positions should definitely be added to your new empty book. I have forgotten if the import .pgn to book works or not, but you can import .pgn into .cbh first if direct .pgn import fails. Also I don't remember why I stopped at 16 April 2004 version, maybe it was the book thing or maybe something else. FWIW, BK
