[Papyrus-L] Transferring between databases: Picky little difficulty

[John Rodgers]

Chris,
    no - horror- don't convert to word processor!

first, you probably just need to copy the file called "format.flb" from the 
Pap directory on the one machine onto the same directory of the second 
machine.

Then go   liBrary
  type in format.flb

and then copy  papx  from that library.

hit return, and you should get a list of available .flb files
