If required, replace "Username" or "Password" with yours, or
use the defaults required by the services. Pay attention to the "/"'s and other info in the account path.
The Account Path MUST be filled in as specified by each
service, starting with a slash character / and then followed by a username or left blank, depending on the service.
In "Account Path" type in a slash followed by your Online Service supplied User Name, or type in a slash with the following spaces left blank, as required by the individual service.
Note: The slash is essential if required by a service; do not omit the
slash unless instructed otherwise. If you must enter a username after the slash (/) do not leave a space between the slash and your Account Name. Example:
/BigBookstore

Export Setup
In the Online File Name and Path, please choose a filename which is recognizable as your own. For instance, if your name is Smith's Books, choose something like smiths_1.txt. The only rule for the filename is that it should end with .txt.
The alternative to this if you do not have a free
Online Filename and Path field for a custom filename
is to make sure the first record has the name of your
business in Author, as a dummy record, so Popula can
look at the file and determine it is yours.
