Alvin's right that you don't have to convert pages if all you want to do 
with FP is edit them.  FP does have some nice features though, that you can 
only make use of if you first make a "Web" out of the pages.  In FP2000 you 
can either start a new Web then put all the pages into it, or you can use 
the Import Web command on the File menu to import all the pages.  The 
second method is probably easier.  After you do that, you'll want to use 
the Publish Web command on the file menu.  This process (all these steps) 
is what will turn your friend's Web site into a FP Web site.  You'll also 
notice a few new folders that FP adds to the Web, all beginning with an 
underscore and having names like "_vti_cnf," "_vti_pvt," etc.  These aren't 
absolutely necessary if all you want to do is view the pages on the site, 
but if you delete them it will no longer be a FP Web.
