Thank you, Annette. I just tried *+0 and it says "notes folder." *+# gives "can't move folder." #+0 gives "there are no files in the notes folder." Does this mean that changing the battery somehow wiped my flash card? I have the 128 meg which came with my machine about 16 months ago. I simply download books and let them go to the default location. If the card is wiped, I will try downloading another book in the morning. (I am not a power user and need the help of my sighted wife.) Thanks, Ed Meskys Edmund R. Meskys NIEKAS Publications National Federation of the Blind of N.H.
