Hi Marta!

Once the files have been transferred to the bookport, they can be moved without 
reconnecting to the PC. 

The cut command is Star+pound. The paste command is star+0+pound. 

Cheers,
Dave

  A couple of questions:  Are you talking about doing this from the unit 
  itself, without connecting it to the PC and opening the transfer program? 
  If so, what are the cut and paste commands?  If you're talking about doing 
  it from the pc while the transfer program is open, how do you avoid having 
  the moved file treated as unfiltered by the bookport?  I mean wouldn't you 
  have to use the pc's cut and paste commands this way?

  Marta

  Hi Marta and list!

  If you unintentionally get files in the wrong folder, you can move them 
  within the book port to any folder. Simply locate the file, press the cut 
  command, then navigate to the folder you want, open it and press the paste 
  command. Bookport will announce file moved, and it truly will be.

  Cheers,
  Dave

    be aware that once the transfer program is running, you *can* use Windows
    Explorer to send files to the BP. Select the file or files you want to 
  send;
    press ALT+F to open the Files menu; press the letter N to open the Send To
    submenu and locate Book Port; press ENTER and the file(s) are sent using 
  the
    transfer software. You do *not* have to use the transfer software to 
  select
    the files and initiate the transfer and I almost never do.>

    That's right.  I've sent many a files myself through the bookport that 
  way.
    Sorry for forgetting to bring that up.  I'd add one more thing though.  If
    you send single files or books using the steps described by Walt, they'll
    end up in the bookport's root directory.  Sometimes that can cause 
  problems,
    as i've had the occasion to find out.  So what you might want to do in 
  order
    to avoid that, is put all the files you're sending in a folder, and then
    send the entire folder to the bookport using the steps described above.

    Marta
