Sorry, I probably did not explain it correctly. If I create an entry18.tc
file (very small) and then import it and subsequently delete it I
effectively add entry 18 to my collection 2.tc. What I meant was that if I
do not create an entry18.tc file I cannot import it. I initially got the 
impression that I could import it directly (without creating an intermediary
entry18.tc file) but obviously I was wrong. No big deal, the main thing is
that I can now export from one collection to another :clap:

PS by the way my Tellico version is 1.3.4
