There may be a better way to do this, but here is one way that has certain
advantages. First, find the folder where BookPort stores files in it's que
when the Bookport is not connected; in my WinXP system it's in
C:\Documents and Settings\wrightr\Application Data\APH\Book Port
Transfer\pending
where wrightr is my user login name. I have this bookmarked in my
Favorites. When the BookPort is not connected, copying files to this
directory is the same as using the SendTo BookPort feature. This is also
true of whole directories. If you copy a directory to the pending folder
then connect the bookport and allow it to send the queued files, it will
create a folder with the name of your folder and send all the files to it.
One advantage of doing it this way is after things are there in the pending
folder you can alter them in ways helpful to Bookport use, for example,
putting extra spaces in the file name (or folder name) to make it read
better or even search and replace things in the file that BookPort reads
wrong but that you wouldn't want to change in the original file.
Note also not to MOVE files to pending, because they're erased after they
are moved to the BookPort, and this includes folders.
