Wink Star Alliance possibility?

Thanks for any help for this newbie.
Since United ands USAIR are both in Star Alliance, can't you leave the miles in the separate accounts and use them on either carrier or a different Star Alliance carrier?--ie--if you went overseas on Lufthansa, can't you use United or USAIR miles?
