Hi again, Bill,

2 things:

1. Be concerned with how large the PC file is. A file larger
than the size of the currently open file will be a headache to
load. I'm not sure that bns can put your pc on hold while you
open a new file to continue the transfer to the bns. I suspect
it DOES, but just be sure to make room for what you are about to
load.

I've never tried this, but a file of 180k should fit into the
memory of the bns which has one file containing 45 pages.

2. I wanted to read on the subway this way. I had to give that
idea up, too much noise distraction. Writing on the subway is
fine, but reading is a pain.  We gotta find inexpensive
Refreshable Tactile Display!
