Thank you! I am going to try this! This might be the best advise I have
gotten yet as it makes sense to me. Why didn't I think of this! Thank you
Sir!

I don't bother at all with hotsync :)
If you have a PalmOS compatible with USB _and a memory card_ (I use a
Clie with Memory Stick) you can access the card easily without adding
any software; su and then
mkdir <directory>
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 <directory>
and you can manipulate files on the card from the command line or any
GUI application by going inside <directory>.
All this is possible because support for solid-state memory devices is
built into the kernel; it doesn't differentiate between a card on a USB
PalmOS device and a card on a digital camera, for example.
(Once something's on the memory card you can use Filez
<http://www.nosleep.net/filez.asp> or similar to transfer it to the
PalmOS compatible's own memory, or vice versa).
