I understand why you prompt.
At the risk of repeating myself, My suggestion (in order to fully utilize
batch processing) is to provide an optional parm that will let me send what
will fit. If it don't fit, don't send it.
Each month I receive a cd with 10 daisy magazines on it. I want to send
them all to the BP. The batch processing facility is perfect for this task;
with the exception of the requirement for user intervention.

It would theoretically be possible to send your 6 books without user
intervention, as long as there is room for all 6. My point is that if the
first book took up the whole card, there would be no room for the rest. This
is why we prompt. You might want to balance card resources with the material
you might actually read, rather than sending one or two giant books, and
taking a long time in the process.

It's Monday morning and I haven't got all of my neurons up to speed.
So,
you've lost me.
If I have a 4 gig card with 3 gig left on it and I have 6 daisy magazines
that take less than 3 gig, why wouldn't they fit?
Currently, The batch file process happens as follows:
The first batch command is:
"C:\Program Files\aph\Book Port Transfer\BP.exe"
"D:\magazine01\ncc.html" /q
/bpfolder DaisyBooks
BP starts, gathers information and presents a select audio range dialogue.
The user presses the OK button.
BP completes the transfer.
The second batch command is:
"C:\Program Files\aph\Book Port Transfer\BP.exe"
"D:\magazine02\ncc.html" /q
/bpfolder DaisyBooks
BP starts, gathers information and presents a select audio range dialogue.
The user presses the OK button.
BP completes the transfer.
The third batch command is:
"C:\Program Files\aph\Book Port Transfer\BP.exe"
"D:\magazine03\ncc.html" /q
/bpfolder DaisyBooks
And so on...
If we assume that the user wants to send what will fit on the card, is there
a way to avoid the requirement for user intervention?

There is one fundamental problem with your desire. If you sent just one book
in a "send all that will fit" mode, you wouldn't have room for anymore
books. So, batch processing would be useless in this case anyway.

Hi Larry,
Unless I'm missing it, the manual shows /q and /bpfolder and the from
filenames as the parms for the Bp Transfer command line parms. Are there
more?
Each month, I receive a cd with several magazines in daisy format on it.
I'd love to be able to set up a batch file to send all of them to the BP
without intervention.
"C:\Program Files\aph\Book Port Transfer\BP.exe"
"D:\magazine01\ncc.html" /q
/bpfolder DaisyBooks
"C:\Program Files\aph\Book Port Transfer\BP.exe"
"D:\magazine02\ncc.html" /q
/bpfolder DaisyBooks
"C:\Program Files\aph\Book Port Transfer\BP.exe"
"D:\magazine03\ncc.html" /q
/bpfolder DaisyBooks
For each transfer, BP Transfer asks for the range of material to send.
Could we have a command line parm that says send what will fit?
Or, (even with the on screen interface), could we assume that by default we
want to send what will fit?
