First off - thank you so much for the detailed answer!
So this is the answer - transfer as in send them to myself. There is no importing anything.
This is my experience limitation because I’ve used BTC, BCH, ZEC, etc. all built on the BTC model and I never got into ETH. So now that you’ve said, politely, I’m a doofus. I think I understand now!
I sincerely appreciate it! Cheers, -Pk
