I get the impression that you are on the PC.  I don't know much about the
PC version of the software, but on the Amiga, you have to set the
ANIM/Still button from the PAR software.  Those are the two modes of
importing files.

In terms of bouncing the frames to an anim, on the Amiga there is an
Arexx script for that and some untilities, but essentially you have to
export the file and then re-import them while making sure you change the
import mode to Anim.  You could do this one frame at a time if you are
short on disk space.  Once again, I don't know much about the PC, but if
you have file manager ( or other good file util), you may be able to
control the copying via that.  It beats the command line and would allow
you to automate this a bit.

Hope this helps
