Copying (Harvesting) Multiple URLs

Let's assume that you would like to send multiple links, or URLs to an email recipient, or post multiple links to a newsgroup. In order to do this, you need to know how to copy, or "harvest" many URLs.

To copy, or "harvest" more than one URL, follow these steps:

1. Go to the first website which you wish to send as a link.

2. While viewing the site, press your Go To key, and then click on "Show Current."

3. Use CMD+A to "highlight" the URL which is displayed in the popup box.

4. Use CMD+X to copy the URL.

5. Press your Back key to remove the "Go To" popup.

6. Go to the next website you wish to send.

7. Use the Go To key and select Show Current.

(here comes the good part)

8. NOW, after the URL is displayed, tap your space bar and press CMD+V
(This allows the "current" URL and the "previous" URL to be shown in the "Go To" field)

9. Use CMD+A to highlight, and then CMD+X to copy the box contents.

10. Press the Back key to remove the popup.

================

You can continue this procedure indefinitely! Each time you go to a "new" website, just use the Go To key, and then click on Show Current, then tap the "space bar" to add a space, and then "paste" all the previous URLs. And then, of course, CMD+A to highlight, CMD+X to copy, and then... on to the next website!

After you have visited and copied the last website you wish to send, you may then go to an email "Write" screen, and with your cursor in the email body, press CMD+V to paste all of your "harvested" URLs!

~~~~Notes~~~~

"CMD+A" simply means to hold down your CMD key and press the letter A. Likewise, CMD+X is the CMD key plus the letter X, and CMD+V is CMD plus the letter V.

You could use the letter C instead of the letter X to "copy" the URLs, but using the letter X allows you to see the text disappear, letting you know that you have successfully copied all the URLs.
