Yes you can, there's no difference in the file formats of scid bases (at least it wasn't the last time I looked).
but, isn't sc_import installed as an executable in the windows port? Look there first, and try sc_import base *.pgn It ought to be installed, it's one of the more important commands in scid, IMO. Otherwise automatic scripting of things like TWIC downloading and db building gets pretty gross. I use it all the time, but then, I'm a huge addict to automization, well, that's the purpose of computers in the first place.
