Hi George, How well does the X-port work? Does it work well for transfering my Wordperfect word processing files between a MP130 and an IBM clone? I want to be able to download a file onto my MP, work on it away from my office and then download it again to my IBM clone. Will this program accomplish this? I really want to use my MP like a mini-laptop for word processing purposes. I also want to coordinate my calendar with the one on the MP. There is a Lanware program called Sync+ which is supposed to do this (if I get Microsoft's Scheduleplus program. Have you heard anything about this? Also, is Grafitti an improved handwriting to type program than the one currently in the MP130? How does Grafiti work? After you download it as a packaged file, what do you do? Do you have to enter it through the empty drawer file every time you want to write by hand, or does it automatically overwrite the existing handwriting software? Finally, you mentioned another program besides X-port and Graffiti which you use alot, what is it and what does it do? (I think it was called PMI and dealt with names??) Thanks for all of your assistance to this virgn, but interested Newton user! Scott
