Sorry Scott. I seem to be getting conflicting info, and even then 
misunderstanding it. But let me respond to your points above, all of 
which I just tried before reading this, your latest attempt to 
penetrate my thick cranium.

I tried dragging the pdfs into TMS because I thought another user 
here said that's what I could do. I did so only because the procedure 
outlined above didn't appear to transfer anything.

I just tried for the FOURTH time, and it worked! Hallelujah! Clearly 
I was doing something wrong before, because computers don't make 
mistakes. Just the loose nut that holds the keyboard.

Now only the ePocrates AutoUpdate Fatal Alert hurdle to cross.

Thanks, all!
