Hi all:

Thanks to Adriaan and all the others whose tips set me on the path to 
enlightment.

The above mentioned pilot-xfer worked but only after I tried having the pda 
turned on while in the cradle.  Again the winBLOWS method of allowing syncing 
with the pda turned off (pressing hot sync button turns it on) was the cause 
of much hair tearing (hard to do when there ain't much left) and swearing.

The sequence that is working so far for me is:

1.  Insert pda into cradle and turn on
2.  Start the Kpilot (or Jpilot) program
3.  Hit the hot sync button on pda

This seems to be somewhat time sensitive but not always the same timing 
although the Jpilot seems to be somewhat less variable.

Again, thanks to all for the help.

Tom
