All of this info is sure to have the answer, however let me try and simplify
the question. The site in question would not allow me to do all of the
regular Control C etc that most of us know to do at a glance.

 

So by using the Application key and select all you can copy the info then
using the application  key and send to Book Port and you are home free at
that point. 

I simply wanted to know where the info was store temporarily. I believe the
answer is in the pending folder.

Thanks

Hello:

First of all, your message is kind of confusing.  If your on a web page
and you select, you would need to follow that up with a Control C to
copy the information onto the Clipboard, then paste it into Wordpad, or
Word or something, save it, then pick Send To Book Port.  Normally, if
you're on a web page and you want to send that page as is, then you do
not need to select anything, if the page is already open.  Simply hit
Applications Key and pick Send To Book Port.  If you've done that, the
files will be placed in the Queued folder.  Under Windows XP and 2000,
the location of that folder is c:\Documents and Settings\Your
Name\Application Data\APH\Book Port
Transfer\Pending . (Replace your actual log on name with the "Your
Name" portion of the folder name.) Under Windows ME, the folder is
c:\Windows\Application
Data\Book Port Transfer\Pending.

Note, that if you open Book Port Transfer with your Book Port
connected, then you can choose from several options.  From the manual:

You send files to the queue exactly the same way you would send files
to the device if the device were connected. The next time you start the
transfer tool
with Book Port connected, the program offers to send all the queued
files to the unit.

If you attempt to send files to the unit from Windows Explorer or from
Internet Explorer and the unit is not connected, Book Port Transfer
notifies you
with a tone that the unit is disconnected and the software shows you a
dialog stating that the files you just sent will be stored in the queue
for sending
when you next connect the unit. You may, in fact,
turn off the notification dialog,
so your only indication that the files went to the queue instead of to
the device is the disconnected tone.

If you are using the program without having Book Port connected to your
computer and you attempt to send files, the software shows you a dialog
reminding
you that the unit is disconnected and that the files will be queued for
sending when you next connect the unit.

When you connect Book Port to your computer or when you start Book Port
Transfer manually and there are files in the queue, the software shows
you the Queue
Management dialog and presents several choices about what to do with
the files in the queue. Your choices are Send Now, Browse, Delete, and
Close.

Send Now

If you select the Send Now button, the software immediately sends the
queued files to Book Port and then deletes the files from the queue.

Note that if you start the program manually without having the Book
Port attached to your PC, the Send Now button will not be available.

Browse

If you pick the Browse button, the software opens the queue folder
where you may selectively remove any files from the queue. When you
close the queue folder,
you return to Book Port Transfer's main screen.

Delete

If you select the Delete button, the software removes the files from
the queue then opens the main screen where you may perform any of the
normal operations.

Close

If you select Close, the software keeps the queued files and shows the
main screen where you may perform any of the normal operations. To
return to the
Queue Management dialog, use the Queued button.


Based on that, you don't really need to worry about where the files
are, as you can delete from Book Port Teransfer.

Not exactly, while visiting a web site I simply did a select all  then
using the application key I sent the contents to the book port without
connecting the Book Port. Does anyone know where the files would
reside
until sent to the book port?
