1. Open the Posting of the Custom List you want to upload to your computer.
2. Right-click on the word "Attachment" at the bottom of the post -- it will be a hyperlink and underlined.
3. Select "Save Target As..." and save to your desktop. (You may want to rename the file - but do not change the .xml file extension)
4. Open your Thayer Birding Software birding program version 3.5.
5. Click the Custom List icon
6. In the upper left corner of the Custom List screen, click on the word File.
7. Click Import. Select the file you just uploaded to your desktop. Click Open.
8. The Custom List will now appear on your computer with your other Custom Lists. (You may rename the Custom List if you like.)

These instructions are for Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7. Other browsers may have slightly different names for the buttons you need to click.

Just remember that Custom Lists created using one Title (i.e. Birds of Alaska), may include birds that are not included in other titles (i.e. Birds of Florida). In that case, only those birds common to both Titles will appear when you import a Custom List. So importing a Custom List called "20 Desert Birds of Nevada" may only result in a Custom List with 2-3 species if you have the Birds of Maine installed on your computer.
