If viewing a video clip of this will help, I'll create one and send it to
someone who can post it.

In my opinion, this is the only way to exchange data and install packages
from a Windows based machine to the MP. Praise goes to Eckhart, Newton
almighty!

Your laptop needs to be running Windows 2000 or XP. Use the program
'irftp.exe' to send files.

I wrote a post a while back on how I do this:
