Standard MIDI Files are what we Ensoniq-ers would consider Sequence files with an infinite amount of tracks. The Ensoniq format supports Song files, which are files that contain up to 80 Sequence files, with 8-10 Track objects inside them.
Importing
You can import a SMF and make a new File Image by right-clicking the File List Box while nothing or something other than Song File Image is selected. You can insert a SMF as a new Sequence file in a Song file (provided that there is less then 80 within the file) by choosing Import SMF while a Song file is selected.
Exporting
You can export a Song or Sequence file into a SMF. With Sequence files, the file is simply converted into a single SMF. With Song files, you are given the option of creating separate SMFs for every Sequnce file contained, or you can make one SMF that has all the Sequences linked together.
