Yes, I already have a copy of that PDF on my HD. I have read where it 
says about dragging the files across, but it assumes that linking the 
phone to the computer via a USB cable will work. It doesn't. As I have 
said elsewhere, plugging the cable across from phone to computer just 
results in the computer starting to charge up the battery in the phone. 
It does not set up the usual link at all. The computer does not see the 
phone really, except as a battery to charge. Strange.
