seeking guidance

[Loet Leydesdorff]

Dear Karen,

I am afraid that you have to organize the download manually. The ISI
interface does not allow programming and downloading is limited to 500 at a
time. Some people manage to work with macros which capture the movements of
the mouse on the screen, but I found this more work than doing it manually. 

With best wishes, 


Loet
