I just got Logic Studio and am working on a project that calls for
various Mellotron sounds, but I could not find any such sounds in 
Logic's vast library. So, I managed to download some but I cannot find
any instructions in the manuals or on the internet explaining how to
do this. Many of the files I downloaded have .exs suffixes, but others
are contained in folders containing numerous .wav files and a single
.exs file. Still others are in folders with a single .dll file and a
correlating text file. How do I import these so that Logic will
recognize them? Thanks for any advice!

The mellotron is basically just an old sampleplayer where the big difference is the tapehiss. The original sounds had a certain quality that is hard to beat for some productions though. 

If you really like the mellotron you should consider getting the GForce Mtron. It's very good if you're interested in the real deal (or at least a digital copy of it). It's a samplelibrary constucted from almost all the original mellotron sounds and has the charms of the original ones without having to worry about tapeloops.
