No, actually it was command Victor. But thanks for the thoughts, and I'll
check that preferences thing. I'm thinking this has something to do with
trying to use the card reader and add directly to an SD card rather than
working through the Victor Reader stream.
Agian, thank you.

Hi Louie:
Perhaps you have an answer. I'm having difficulty getting things to paste to
the SD card for my VRS, using my card reader in my MBP. I can copy, but when I
get into a folder on the SD card and hit command V, I get a Ding, and nothing
happens. Yet, when I do this with an audible book
Well, this sure comes at an interesting time. With Macs talking off the shelf,

I'd just leave it off your mac, if I were you. Do you really need to use
windows at home?

As long as you know how to copy and paste, and I'm sure you do, you will have

Oh wow, that was cool that you solved it yay! Wonder why I didn't think of
