Merge ped files in PLINK

Hi,

I'm very new using PLINK. I have two data sets of SNP data and both data sets contain .ped, .bim, .fam files. I would like to merge the two data sets into a unique data set of .ped, .bim and .fam files, and analyse just this unique data set. Any idea?

Thanks very much in advance,

Andrea
