Sally:

If you are able to send a file, then I doubt that the cable is faulty. 
If you can connect, disconnect, and reconnect with the transfer coming
up, then this would rule that out. The problem could be that the other
files you are trying to send are not supported by Book Port. Try this:

Go into Book Port Transfer, press alt plus l to see the files on the PC
that you are interested in sending. Once you've opened the appropriate
folder through that listview, if the files you are interested in do not
show up in that list, then that tells you that they are not compatible
with Book Port, because Book Port Transfer will only show the files it
supports.  We need to know more about the origin of the files in
question and what their extensions are.  If you can see the file, press
Enter on it and the file should transfer.  There are other ways of doing
it, but by doing it this way, would answer the question of whether or
not the transfer program recognizes the files.

Thank you Pam!!!
Looks like we got it!  There is only one MP3 file I am able send
through 
Book port.   All the others are in folders and do not appear when I
open 
them..  Is this typical?  I  may have a faulty cable.  Now all files 
transfer, even from Kurzweil.
Thanks,
Sally
