Merging multiple file to .psd or .xcf with layers

I've been searching and I can't seem to find a way to do this. I'm trying to take a series of images and combine them to a single .psd or .xcf file. I'd like the first file to be the background, and each successive file to be a screen layer. Has anyone done this? I've gone over the documentation a few times, and I don't see how to do this.

Is it possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed

IM by default handles multiple images and layers.

To save a multiple image just save it.
convert image image image output.xcf

If you get files of the form output-1.xcf output-2.xcf etc
then IM can not save multiple images into a single file of that format.
You can then either put in a request or do something else.
