Hi Kathy.
The way it is supposed to work is to let you mark a range of links, and
the software downloads the contents (or targets) of those links and
sends them to the Book Port, but there are a lot of sites that trip it
up. I would hold off on even wasting any time on it. We have plans for
a more robust re-write, but I'm not sure about the schedule on that
yet.

Larry explained that for audio files, the best procedure to get
them into the Book Port is to save them on the computer's hard
drive using "Save Target as" in the Internet Explorer context
menu and then connect the Book port and run Book Port Transfer.
Fine. I'm still puzzled, though, in regard to Web Spider. I
have tried going to our newspaper's website and putting my cursor
on a link. Do I hit return to bring up the article I want and
then bring up Web Spider, or use the IE context menu and choose
Web spider from the first screen? I've seen the buttons on the
Web Spider screen, and I've read the manual, but I still can't
figure out how to gather the articles I want and get them queued
for transmission to the Book Port. Will I still be hearing all
those unnecessary links on the page once the articles are in the
Book Port?
