Hello again, everyone.

I, too, wonder whether something wonky is happening with the merge
function. I have used it successfully in the past, but since the last
upgrade or two, it no longer works for me as it did before.
Specifically, fields containing unique data are deleted instead of
merging into the matching record. Those of you who know MarcEdit well,
please look at this function and see whether it really isn't working or
I've just forgotten how to use it.
