Thanks for that. I used MarcEdit to dump to a text file and can see each 
fields and what it contains very easily now. I have also used the web 
based import tool to import your lpi.mrc into the "Breeding Farm". It 
took a while. I can now see that there are lots of records in the 
marc_breeding table.

I now have the same problem as when I imported the single record that 
Steven Baljkas sent me which I imported; it's in the breeding farm but 
how to move them all to the catalog?

I can do it for a single entry if I go to "Add biblio" and enter an ISBN 
  number e.g. Here is what I have learned:
This line in Davids marc records is an ISBN
=020  \\$a0821204505
If I search for this in 'Add biblio' up comes the book on 'The scanning 
electron microscope' in the breeding farm. I can add it and it shows the 
marc fields, which I can edit, before adding it to the catalog.

But how do I get the thousands of entries from the breeding farm into 
the catalog?
