    Hi Rick,<br>
    AFAIK the "Merge Shapefiles to One" tool was part of the "fTools"
    plugin.<br>
    The "fTools" plugin was removed from QGIS since version 2.16 (about
    six years ago) and replaced with the "Processing" core plugin. So I
    think you are probably reading very old docs.<br>
    <br>
    You could use the "Merge vector layers" native Processing tool,
    instead.<br>
