Me again.  We have the PreferRefer (Mac and DOS) which was created by Kevin
Crawford for Cherwell in 1991.  When my friend used this, everything was
in the endnote library in uppercase. She uses her Mac.  I use a PC and 
on the very rare occasions when I bother, I first convert the VO- to VL-
and incoporate a KW- keywords as well by search and replace.  Then I bring
it in using endlink.  This works although I still then have to manually
edit to make journals in the appropriate format and fix any things in the
title to the appropriate upper case which is lost.  Not Endnote's fault,
but BIDS for uppercasing everything in the first place.  The odd author
name comes through funny as well, sometimes missing the first uppercase
letter in one of them!  I prefer to type it in, in the first place because
then I know it is correct, has the appropriate keywords, capitilization,
author etc.  Speaking of upper case, I notice that ISI is converting 
their format to sentence instead of title format, so maybe BIDS will
eventually follow suit-saving us all the tedium of correcting (sometimes
guessing if the paper isn't sitting in front of one) the database info.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help.
