The Spyder program still needs work. It doesn't work with all sites, but
it's still useful. The "Begin" and "End" buttons are used to set links. If
you're on a webpage and you press the applications key, a menu will appear.
Pressing Enter on "Book Port Spyder" brings up the program and puts you in a
list of links on that page. Use the arrow keys to move to the link you want
Spyder to start gathering content from, and then press the "Begin" button.
Select the ending link the same way, and press "End". When you've selected
both links, move to the beginning of the list and arrow to the "go" button.
Next, press "go", and Spyder will begin gathering content from the links you
specified, including the beginning and ending links and those inbetween. If
all goes well, all the text from the pages will be transfered to the Book
Port. If not, it will only grab the link target URLs, which is what has
often happened to me.
Good luck,

Hi All.
That Book Port Spyder looks like a useful program to use in downloading web sites.
But I dont know how to use it. There does not seem to be a useable manual. Onthe program it says go, begin, stop save open and close. These buttons dont seem to have clear meanings.
Hss anyone been able to use the programme.
