I tried your suggestions, but I cannot import directly because I cannot open
Outlook to do so. I tried command line, but I keep having syntax errors. I
confess to not knowing the DOS syntax very well.
I have tried opening the .prf file (exchange.prf) by right clicking, and
selecting "Open With> Outlook.exe", but this just brings up the notice
"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. The command line argument is not valid.
Verify the switch you are using."
