There is know need to worry about the time it takes to copy the manual. It = is almost instant, and it happens before Book Port Transfer appears. It is = only copied if it needs to be. >>> paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 09/02/04 09:21PM >>> Hi, Larry. I like the fact that the manual is on the unit with the = section=20 markings. Very nice. I was, however, unsure of how long to leave the=20 bookport connected so that the manual would be copied to the unit. What if I had unplugged things early? I assume, also that, if I insert a new flash card, the transfer software=20= will see that the manual is not there and copy it onto the card. Very nice to have that right at hand any time you need to look something = up.
