Thanks for the tip. For some reason the man pages didn't come through when I loaded 2.10.3 onto a new testing machine and I assumed rdimport hadn't changed WRT usage. BTW: while I was looking for an audio tool that might do cart chunk stuff I came across "Hindenburg Broadcaster", a Windows/Mac tool that seems optimized for wrangling assorted dialog chunks into news bites and stories. I hadn't heard of it before. It looks promising but doesn't work under wine, at least not for me.
