Hi Mary,

It's perfectly possible, I do it all the time.  I rarely if ever create 
folders with the BC transfer tool.  In fact, I would love to see a day when 
the transfer tool is so tightly integrated to Windows Explorer, that you 
should be able to dispense with it altogether, except for Audible 
perhaps.  It would be nice if we could simply use Explorer to transfer text 
files, and the compression routines could kick in straight from within 
Windows itself, whilst copying.  One interesting thing to note as well, I 
never use the transfer tool at all for MP3 files.  I simply use Windows 
Explorer, and paste them straight to the BC, so it is only .TXT and Audible 
that you need the transfer tool for at the moment.  Of course, if Daisy 
comes along, and I sure hope it will, there will be another need for the 
transfer tool, but you don't need it for MP3.  One more suggestion.  It 
would be nice if the BC software put a shortcut to the Send-to folder when 
it installed itself.  Then one could select all the files, right click, 
send-to, Book Courier.  There are quite a few ways like this that transfers 
could be improved.

All the best
