Hi Jim and List, Just a quick blurb about the clipboard. The contents of the clipboard are stored on the flash disk, in the none folder, in a file called "keysoft". You can open this file in the book reader or word processor to read/edit/erase its contents, or you can simply erase the file to clear out the clipboard completely.

It took a few tries but I managed to download two books from that site. The first was Ghost at the Manor around 261,700 bytes ascii text and roughly 215,700 bytes in a Keyword document. I goofed up my system when saving the second book, Chain of Death roughly 257,700 bytes in a Keyword document. I rounded off the numbers. The first book had 27 chapters and the second 22 chapters. I noticed in Ghost at the Manor that they left the last two chapters out of the contents, oh well. When I went to the link for chapter one, everything seemed to lock up. I couldn't get anything to happen. I turned off my M-power and turned it back on again. This disconnected me from the site. I waited for around thirty seconds or slightly less and the text of the book appeared, all 27 chapters and contents. I then pasted this to the clipboard once I defined the block. I then created a .txt file and pasted the contents of the clipboard into that file. That went well so saved everything to a Keyword Braille file and added place markers at the beginning of chapters. Unfortunately, there were 27 chapters and only 26 place markers available but I think this will be useful when reading. I haven't put place markers in the second book yet. I moved everything to the compact flash card. I cleared all temporary files, I did a standard reset and a 4 5 6 reset and never lost the contents of the clipboard which was the last book, Chain of Death. I was amazed the clipboard wasn't lost! The only way I could get rid of what I had in the clipboard was to copy a sentence from another document into it. When I pasted the clipboard into a new test document, I only got the sentence I pasted, not the book. My Keysoft System disk seemed to be okay since I deleted all temporary files. If you know of a book you had a problem with, please pass it along and I'll try to download it on my M-power to see what happens. The day went so fast, I thought I only ate lunch an hour ago before i realized I was being called to the supper table, Wow! Don't know where the day went. The books I mentioned are new I think and they were the first two books I came across when going on the cite. Thanks much!
