Hi Folks,

 Sorry if this question is repetitive, but I'm not sure if my last 
posting went through.

 I want to get an MP130 primarily for word processing purposes.  I want 
to readily transfer files (such as those in Wordperfect) via Windows 
between a MP130 and my IBM clone.  Will Landware's X-Port or Winlinx 
accomplish this?  Which will do it better?

 Also, I've heard mention of Graffiti.  Does this work better than the 
handwriting software already in the MP130?  Does it over-write it, or do 
I have to open this icon on my MP130 everytime I want to use it?

 Thanks in advance for all of your assistance with this matter!

 Scott
