My two cents. Using EndLink which for the money can't be beat.

When searching on Melvyl.  As you find references you like issue the command-

SAVE 1 (where 1 is the reference number - it could be 5, or 6, or 100)
you'll get the reply, Saved refenced number 1 as 1 in your saved list.

This way, you create a list of references you want while your doing
multiple searches - perhaps modifying your critera.

When your ready to get your list, in microphone II open a capture file
after I issue the command to melvyl to
D SAVE MEDLINE CONT (translation, display my save list in medline format
continuously with no page breaks or prompst.

The list comes scrolling off and into your capture file complete with
keywords and abstracts etc.  Then quit your session. Open endnote+ and
select import. EndLink is the default selected. Open the text file that you
created (the capture file - although it can be a text file created by any
terminal prog). and your off.  EndNote and EndLink import all your refs
flawlessly.  Anybody who copies and pastes when this is available will kick
themselves for wasting so much time.
