The Bookport Transfer program presents a list of the 1751 (or so) books on the CD. I would like to transfer the author and title information from this list to a file which I could then put on a notetaker or other device. This would allow me to review the list at times when I'm away from a computer (during bus commutes, for example) and choose the books to transfer when I get back to the computer.
Hitting control-A (to mark all the entries) then control-C (to paste to the clipboard) picks up the whole book behind each title, not just the title itself.
Fred called me with a suggestion. But either I misunderstood him or I didn't carry out his instructions correctly.
In DOS I would simply have used the dir command with appropriate switches and pipe characters to send the directory listing to a designated file. I imagine such a thing can be done in Windows XP. But I don't know how; and I don't know whether a technique which would work in other circumstances would work on the Bookport CD.
All suggestions welcome. Steve Speicher
