I have used TAGSLINK to import articles from Current Contents on MELVYL  to
EndNote+ quite succesfully. All I have to do is specify the TAGS display
option (e.g. d 1-30 tags cont) and then save the output in a text file
which I later open with TAGSLINK ( I have only used it a couple of times
only, so I do not know how dependable it is yet). If you want to download
bibliographical material from the CATALOG in MELVYL (the book section) then
you will have to wait until they implement TAGS fields in CAT. In the
meantime, you might be able to use the experimental mode (type: set mode
exp) where you can now use TAGS fields until they work out all the bugs and
move it to the regular mode ( I do not know if it is available from
Washington though). I hope this will help you get started.

Chris.
