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
