Well, I *don't* have an OmniGo, but what I do on my Zoomer is make a copy of
GEOS.INI in the root directory, modify it, then put a line in AUTOEXEC.BAT
that copies B:\GEOS.INI to B:\GEOWORKS\GEOS.INI. That's assuming the OmniGo
is set up like the Zoomer; if there's an AUTOEXEC.BAT in B:\, it'll run it
instead of the AUTOEXEC on the ROMdisk...
