Okay, the results.
I selected the .brf file to send to the BP, then hit the audio button. It converted the .brf to audio, then sent the resulting mp3 file like normal. The process took about a half hour (a 400k or 500k book and the mp3 was 571mb).

Have a great day,
Alex

Dave -

The transfer program does not convert the book to audio *unless*
it will do
so by selecting the Send Audio button, but according to the
manual, this
only works for text files. I think it has to be a two-step
process: convert
the braille book to straight text, then send the text as audio
using
installed synthetic voices already on your computer.

Hi Sandy and list!

Why translate it to text first? The bookport transfer programme
will do that
for him, as well as convert the text to audio before sending to
the
bookport.

Cheers,
Dave
