Very SIMPLE QUESTION; HOW DO I IMPORT ABD EXPORT A FILE? IMPORT I HAVE MANAGED TO DO AFTER 2 WEEKS OF TRYING. EXPORT IS IMPOSSIBLE!
Import is easy: use File -> Import from the menu and select a file. Also you can drag and drop a file from your file manager to the Inkscape window and it will be imported.
For export use File -> Save As and select the desired file type from the drop-down box. Using File -> Export Bitmap from the menu will export your image in PNG format. There you will have to select the area to export (probably "Page") and give a file name for export.
Please: - do not use ALL CAPS, it is very hard to read and is usually interpreted like shouting at people; - the best place for asking question about using Inkscape is the users mailing list, inkscape-user@lists.sourceforge.net, not the development list.
