Hi Sandy:
Yes, I understand that, and create many folders that way. What I was trying
to tell her was that you can't create a folder with just the unit itself,
while not connected to the computer. You have to connect, and then you can
use either method. I gave her the windows explorer way, because that is
simpler for users newer to the Book Port.

You can try, however, you just might have to open the page in Internet
Explorer and see what happens.

Chase, you can create a folder on the Bookport using Bookport
Transfer. Although it is simple to create folders using Windows
Explorer, it is just as simple to do in BP Transfer.
With the BP connected and BP Transfer running, press alt-F. This
should take you to the files listed on the CF card. Press the
applications key, the key next to control on the right side. Arrow
up or down to "New folder." Press enter. Name your folder, and you
will be good to go. Go back to the list of files on the CF card,
find the folder you have just created, then press enter. Any file
you transfer will be put into the newly created folder.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen
to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your
heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring
you back from captivity.
