Actually, most of these things aren't specific to the PK and are generalizeable.

Is BlueTooth or Wireless connection for sending email and connecting to KeyWeb more reliable? -Wireless is much faster and more reliable as the Bluetooth on the mPower and pK isn't from Windows and was a hack put together by HumanWare. 2. Through "active sync" with a "guest connection" how is email sent i.e. can it be sent independent on an active sync connection? -Yes, i would recommend doing this via a USB connection. You would have to create a new connection configuration by doing the following: SPACE with O for the KeySoft Options Menu C for the Connectivity Menu C to Create a New Dial-Up or LAN Connection At the, "Connection Configuration Name?" prompt, input something meaningful that will allow for you to recognize this connection being the ActiveSync one. At the, "Device to use?" prompt, press SPACE with dots 34 until, "ethernet network connection" appears. Press ENTER, you have now configured all you need and can press SPACE with E to Exit and Save. At the prompt, "Add this record?" press Y for Yes Now when using KeyWeb or KeyMail select this particular connection when wanting to use an ActiveSync connection. 3. How does one send email simply by connecting the pk to a pc via the usb port? -This is achieved in in the same manner as you would send email normally using KeyMail but would just have to specify the ActiveSync connection when requested for the connection to use. 4. Is it more efficient to invoke terminal-mode if active sync is not enabled and, if so, how does email get sent? -Terminal mode is use when you are wanting the device to be used as a Braille Display for the PC. Thank you for making me more time-efficient as I'm not familiar with the pk and I know those of you'all who have one will do such a good job of explaining. -That is what this list is for.
