Hi, Miss Jackie, well, I'll tell you, the first thing I did was to unzip the
file, now that's one thing I do know how to do. I guess it's knowing what to
do after the darned thing is unzipped. These appear to be separate files,
and what I want to do is somehow inform these little beasties "you all
belong to this one entity, namely a book. When I extracted the zip folder,
what I did was to use alt+f to get into the file menu and hit A for extract
all which was accomplished. I'm going back over the message you sent me to
see if I can understand what you told me to do. If not, I'll write back.
Thanks much for writing. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Well I guess I'm a nurd lol. Or geek. Or...?
Looks like the book is available in a .zip format. Therefore, extract the
book to it's own directory by pressing applications key or shift f10 on the
.zip file & choosing extract all, choose/create a directory, then open each
file in internet explorer, press alt f, then a for save as, press alt t for
files of type, type t to choose text, shift tab to the filename, make sure
the extension is .txt, & that an appropriate filename has been filled in.
Sounds a whole lot more complex than it is.
