Hi!

I am trying to transfer a file from my computer to frotz on iPad. I followed 
the instructions to "connect via web" but my browser just says "connecting" and 
does not link up ... ?

Make sure both your iPad and your laptop are connected to the same Wi-Fi 
network.
The transfer won't work over cellular.

There are several other ways to transfer games as well -- you can email the 
file to yourself, read the email on your iPad, and launch Frotz to handle the 
attachment, or you can use the Dropbox app if you have a Dropbox account

Thanks! I got it working 0- thanks so much I really appreciate it!!

Let me ask this, is there any way to get a hint file into frotz?

Sort of.  If the hint file is plaintext, you can upload it to the game's save 
game area (using web transfer, ftp, or dropbox), and then view it using the 
transcript viewer.  Swipe left to the notes, then click on the icon at the top 
that looks like paper. Make sure it has extension .txt.
