I think you may have been thinking of the history list - you can get the
URLs for that.
Well, once again, we lay at the mercy of our guardian protector, KeySoft.
But not for long... because Sabahattin has the dirty answer.
The "My Favourites" directory (folder) on the flash disk contains your
favourites, as ".url" Internet Explorer favourite definitions. These are
in fact simple text (ini) files which you can open with KeyWord or
KeyBook. They are IE compatible on desktops, too - you can transfer them
with ActiveSync into your Windows favourites directory
(c:\windows\favorites on Windows 95, 98 and ME and "c:\documents and
settings\User Name\favourites" on Windows 2000 and XP). When you're on
the "List of ... files" prompt when showing the files in a folder, do a
Read+X (QT, not sure about BT, sorry - press help, it'll be there), and
choose all. Open the file, and when given a chance to see the options,
say yes and choose to open in line format. You've got several lines there
now in .ini form (directive=value), one of which contains the URL. Voila!
Do what you will - you can even copy this to clipboard and store it away
somewhere else.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
