Hi, All,
How about this ...
Write a batch file that will list all of the files on the CD, and save the list
as a .txt file that you can review anytime.
Here is an example. Call this file "files_d.bat" (no quotes).
@echo off
dir d:\*.* > c:\files.txt
c:\files.txt
This file will list all of the files on Drive D, save them in "files.txt" in
the root directory of Drive C, and then bring up "files.txt" in your favorite
.txt-file reader for your review.

Subject: [bookport] isting to file
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.
