Susan:

If you want to copy files from one card to another, it is not necessary to copy 
the Help file because when you connect the Book Port to the PC with the new 
card in place, the Book Port Transfer program will check for the Help file and 
insert it, if it is not found.  Consequently, it will also update the Help file 
so that it will be the most current help file for the version you are running.

I have been roving the archives, trying to confirm some problems and 
solutions.

First, is it safe to remove the help file from the bookport? several 
files were corrupted in a recent transport and I now get the melodic, 
but annoying, "buffer overflow, moving on" message as I accidentally hit 
Help, then need to restore defaults.

second, among several recommendations for moving from one memory card to 
another, which is a better, or easier, method? 

Third, here's a solution I found. and want to register for future 
searchers. Moving to a new computer, after install from the CD I got 18 
months ago Transport aborted with a message "EZB Braille translator 
cannot start". for a related problem,  Pamela suggested, "trust me, 
delete ezb.dll from the common files, un-install, re-install Bookport  
Transport". sure enough, that worked, thanks, Pamela.
summary: ok to delete help or replace help file to correct corrupted 
file? best way to move files to a new memory card?

P.S. one great reason for the list is to help fix problems like these 
that come up in prolonged use, now hundreds of hours on my bookport. and 
thanks for the off-topic tutorial on NLS politics Finally, if this list 
is not the right place for questions like this, please point me to the 
alternatives.  but, wow, the bookport has sure been trouble-free until 
now..
