I knew that the storage had changed, but thought that last time I needed to do 
this I could import the bookmarks.  I'll have to see what my options are - 
what I have available elsewhere that is similar.  I did, as it happens, export 
my bookmarks to an on-line repository, recently - I think it was Quick 
Bookmarks.  Since I've lost the bookmark to it, I'll have to hunt for it ;-)
