>I've got another question for ya, where can I get the "commands" or "protocol" that the Zoomer accepts in the File Transfer or File Linking modes? I had too many problems using PalmConnect so I'd like to write my own program for xfering files between my Zoomer and PC.<

The protocol is documented in the SDK and is really simple to implement. You send commands to the Z7000 (or anything running the file transfer program) that do stuff like: listing directories, changing the current directory, sending a file, receiving a file, and some others. The file transfer protocol is similar to xmodem. If you don't mind using shareware, there is a program called ZoomCom in the Zoomer library here that does what you are trying to do.
