Thanks for the suggestion Blaine. I have installed it before I went to
expert-plus mode with no problem. I also thought of using my Palm
Connect program to just transfer the files over. The last two times (both
receive d the same error message) I did it with the zcomm lite
installation program.

I agree that the program leaves a lot to be desired since it has no
terminal emulation. I read that the folks who produced it are working on
a "professional" release that has terminal emulation. In the meantime,e I
can use zcomlite -- on my internet shell account, and ignore the garbage I
get, but am still able to read my mail. I heard that geoterm is
an improvement. I also heard the Pen Right has a good terminal program.
