Hi Larry, I think I tried the suggestion right, I downloaded the file, and
since I can't use the book port with my home computer, I used my card reader
to transfer the file to the card, after changing the extension from .bin to
._bb. I then put the card in to the book port, and pressed the 4 keys
together, 1, 3, star, and number sign. Nothing happened, I tried it several
times. Did I miss something?
