The raw footage for the intended final video is on two tapes.

I've captured each one to a separate file with the ointention of editing
each into the required clips within MM.

But even if I select both files in the import, it only imports one (if it
can't import multiple files, why does it allow you to select more than
one?).

If import one and then the other, it loses the first one.

I must be pushing the frontiers here. The frontiers of crap software, that
is.

It did import them both but into separate collections, a "feature" I don't
like at all about WMM.
At the top of your screen click on the [COLLECTIONS] button and you will see
a list of all your collections in the left pane. Here you will find a
collection with the name of the video(s) you imported. Click on that and you
will find your video either split into clips or as one video depending on
whether or not there was a checkmark in the box at the bottom of the import
dialog window next to "Create clips for video files"
You can select a collection and drag the clips into a different collection
if you like simply by clicking and dragging the clip(s).
