Hi Kent:
First of all, we are aware of problems that occur when trying to transfer
multiple books at once-especially, BRF files and we are working on trying to
fix that.
Secondly, I'm not sure why you're having to do all of that tabbing. Perhaps,
instead of that, you could try alt l which is the hot key for the Lookin Box.
This will put you in the listview for it and you will then use your arrows to
select. Press space on the first thing you want to select, followed by control
down arrow and press space on each one you want to select. That way, if
there's something in that list that you don't want to send, the control
downarrow will allow you to move through, but the selection won't be made until
you press the space again. Once you have all your selections made, simply
press the Enter key. You can also shift down arrow as long as you intend to
select everything. The key strokes you mention should still work, but if not,
you can try those. You can change where the lookin box points to by pressing
the Backspace key. Depending on where it is pointing to, you may need to press
it more than once. Then, use the arrow keys to select another location and
press Enter. It should default to that location the next time you open the
program.

Subject: [bookport] problem loading bookshare books with BT and new zipped books
Hi All,
I am having problem downloading books from bookshare since bookshare started
using Zipped files instead of Packed books. I might say that the same time
Bookshare started using zipped books I got a VRStream and loaded a program
called Stream Companion on my computer if that is any problem. Anyway now I
have to go through a a lot of steps and can only download one book at a time
even though I cue all the books that I wish to transfer. Now I have to press
the space bar to select a book using BT and them tab to the send which does
nothing but single out the book that I wish to transfer. Then I have to back
tab to the first look in which has the book only that is uncued, and have to
again cue it with the space bar. Then I tab twice to which is normally the list
of books, but is now only the uncued book and cue it with the space bar also.
Finally I am able to tab to the send tab to press the enter button and it is
then transferred to my bookport. That is only for one book. Then to select the
next book to be sent I have to back tab to the first look in tab and arrow to
the My Documents and press the enter button. Next I tab twice to the look in
tab and find a list of everything that is in My Documents. I then select My
Music and press enter. Then I arrow down to the Sample Books and press enter.
Finally my list of books is seen and I then arrow to the next book and do it
all over again. When Bookshare used the Unpacking tool I use to cue the whole
list using shift control End starting at the top of the list to select the
whole list and then press the enter and every one of the books would be
transferred to my Bookport. I hope that someone can help me please. Sample
Music is where the Bookport Transfer looked for books when I first downloaded
the Bookport Transfer program. I never changed it. Should I change where the
books are taken from? I should not have to do this long convoluted progress to
download one book to my bookport. Can anyone help? Thank you for your help.
Kent
