• Click on the Journal icon in the Sugar Frame.

Click on the item you want to send:

ReadMeFirst.txt

Wait for the pop-up palette menu; click on send to, and select the friend you established in the previous step

• (The drop down does not <alt> + 1 take a screen shot while it is activated - so it is not shown here.)

==> Note a Red Arrow will appear on the left side of the receiving system's Sugar Frame,

and then in the upper Sugar Frame when the Activity is running, where the user has to accept the transfer, before it is transmitted into the Journal in Sugar.

• Point the mouse at a corner of the screen/window and wait for the Frame to extend.
• Here the Frame view shows the file was sent from the XO-1.5 to the XO-1

The Red arrow icon drop-down palette indicates a file was received also.

• Here in the Home view, the Red Arrow icon drop-down palette shows that a file was received into the Journal from the XO-1 to the XO-1.5

• This is a nice way to share files.
