I am engaged in a similar endevour at the moment (albeit on a Mac).
While on the Mac one can easily cut and paste from existing reference
files to EN+ there is an easier and quicker way to do this.  Using a
series of macros I make a Refer/BibX version of the reference, save it
to a temporary file, and then import it into EN+.  The Refer/BibX codes
are found in the EN+ manual.  If you are using references downloaded
from an online database (like Medline or Sliver Plater) this would be
even easier as you could set up a single macro changeing their codes to
Refer/BibX codes and getting rid of hard returns, &c (I take it this is
what EndLink does, albiet through a different route).
