I thought I would give Key a look and installed in on an external drive under a conventional PortableApps installation. After running the program (and not being able to successfully import a file from Safe 
) I found files left on my C drive in:
C:\s\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent items\
(xxxxx is the name of my computer)
I would appreciate any comments on this as well as how Safe files might be imported.

This folder is automatically generated by Windows. This folder can be created/modified as a result of running any app, portable or otherwise, as well as just by opening files.
There is no privacy risk to this, as the contents of the folder are all just shortcuts to the original files that have been generated by Windows.
As for importing from Safe, you need a plugin for that.
Thanks for your quick response. I went to the plugin page and the only one that seemed relevant was PwSafeDBInport but that plug in seems to be intended only for Kee versions 1.09 and older. I believe the current version is 1.24. I tried it anyway but the program did not seem to recognize it. None of the other import plugins seemed to be relevant.
I have been using Safe for a long time but wanted to look at what else is out there. The hassle is becoming more that it's worth so I think I will stay with what I have.
BTW the version of Kee on PortableApps does not seem to have a built in merge feature. I maintain PortableApps installations on several external drives which are connected to the various machines I use so this is a nice feature to have.

By merge feature I assume you mean to merge two Kee databases? File->Import From->Kee Database should cover this.
There are two options I can yet see for importing from Safe.
1. Export as CSV from Safe and then import to Kee. From what I can glean from a quick Google, you will lose some info doing this but your s will be intact along with enough information to identify what is what.
2. If you only ever plan to do it once, or fairly rarely, you can install Kee 1.09, install that plugin, open your existing database file from 1.24 and then import from Safe. Apparently the database format did not change during the 1.x line, so a 1.24 db is fully compatible with 1.09.
Ken,
I finally got the Safe data base imported into Key although it took a couple of trials to find the trick. The trick is to export from Safe by selecting their 'plain text' export option. When you do this a window pops up with appropriate warnings to the effect that a plain text version of you data base will be generated, a possible security risk. The trick here is to click on the box that says "Advanced field selection" which brings up another window allowing you to select which part of the database are going to be exported. Select group, name, , notes. Not doing this causes the export to default to everything in the database and causes the import to Key to fail, or at least not properly transfer all the important items.
Now to try your suggestion regarding a "merge".
Thanks again for your interest and helpful comments.

available as an Android app!
I've been using the portableapps version for a while and like it a lot. Just got an Android and it seems to work fine there. Just ported over the database file seamlessly.
Safe is also available for Android. I have a copy on my Nexus 7. I grabbed a copy of Kee and will give it a look.
