     After this kind of warning, who could resist? :-)
     
     I find the tweaked INI much more useful, especially being able to rebind
the hard icons at the bottom of the screen.

     On this subject, I tried chaining multiple INIs together and didn't
succeed.  The Zoomer INI has

	[paths]
	ini = A:\net.ini

as the very first thing.  I tried adding

	[paths]
	ini = B:\initools\personal.ini

at the end, hoping it would chain to my own INI.  It didn't.  Is it the
case that each INI can only chain once?  Did I do something else wrong?

     Since Palm is obviously on the net, when will someone be addressing the
various bugs and nits that have been posted?  When can we expect a ROM
upgrade?
