Subject: Chess base light demo question?

Author: Seth Hodgkins

I recently downloaded the chess base light with the game database that you can
also download containing thousands of GM Games.( unbelievable that its free).
For the longest time I couldn't figure out how to get the games downloaded onto
the chess base, but I finally figured that out.(you had to unzip them with
winzip then add them)  I'm currently trying to transfer some of my games that
I've copied from Chessmaster onto the CBlight demo.  I took the games on the
Chess master and converted them to .pgn format(I'm not ever sure if that was the
right thing to do?).  Problem that I'm haveing is getting these games transfered
to CBL all in one file.  When I load a game onto CBL I can only load them 1 game
at a time, and then each time they are put in a differed database file.  So if I
load one at a time I get each folder containing only one game. My hope is that
someone has some experience with this can help explain what I need to do to load
all my games into one file i.e. my games.pgn or something like that.  As a side
note I'm feeling a little overwelmed at the moment with all of the functions of
CBL but at the same time intrigued.  I'm not currently able to use it to its
fullest potential, but it looks to me like it could be a useful tool.  What are
some of your oppinions?
