I take it the AC-11 pdf files are to guide the merging of the AC-6.5 using AC-10? Not that it is also possible to merge pre-10 PLN's direct from AC-11?
You're welcome.

Yes, in the Documentation folder for AC 11, open 02 AC11 Getting Started.pdf and look at pages 21 to the end. Talks about converting AC 9 files, but pretty similar to 6.5
