OK, makes sense; thanks!

Now I have a VERY Very Dumb Question : How do I export?

In the bookmark editor, there is no icon along the top for it; in the
pulldown menu under File there's a choice to Import; but I don't see any
option to export anywhere. I've scoured not only the bookmark editor, but
Galeon as a whole. What am I missing??
