In order to preserve the transparence of the pasted graphics, we suggest to firstly save the graphic files as png format to the desktop, then to drag the png file onto the RTFD text window.

¨About Registration
Paying for the iPodMiniWalker is fairly simple: at the Kagi Web Store (quick, easy and secure payment on-line).

• To register on the web:

Kagi (the company who handles our payment processing) will send you via email the approved invoice, in max 3 days (usually in few minutes if you paid by Credit Card). After that you will receive by us, via email, a little and stuffed TextFile (named "RegistrationFile.txt"). You have to unstuff the attachment and put the resulting text file "RegistrationFile.txt" on the desktop of your computer. Then simply run the screensaver. When running, the screensaver will move the RegistrationFile.txt from the Desktop (if any) to the folder:

We use to send the "RegistrationFile.txt" within 24 hours (usually in few hours), so if you haven't heard anything after 3 days, most likely you have given an Invalid Email Address.

If you received the email from Kagi but you didn't receive the email from us (with the RegistrationFile.txt) please contact us at info@softobe.com providing your alternative email address (with a different domain).

Detailed Payment Info 

If you are paying with Cash or USD Cheque you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is: 

	Kagi
	1442-A Walnut Street #392-U3S
	Berkeley, California 94709-1405
	USA

You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via cheque, it must be a cheque drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept cheques in other currencies.

If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment. 
Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end. 

Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed.
