I'm not sure how well it could work, but you could try copy/paste from
one file to the other.  The files are in text format (XML).  I've not
tried it yet myself.  You'd have to make sure the appropriate other
transaction/accounts/etc. are there.  Try it with copies of your
existing files so you don't corrupt anything. Please report results. :)
