Can you please be a bit more specific ? When I say "Exchange Manager", I mean choosing "Beam" from App Launcher or having another application that uses Exchange Mananger commands, not HotSync or some third party conduits not related to Exchange Mananger.

Exchange manager uses irobex. It is standard so many platfoms do support that. Those include microsoft windows and linux. I have been beaming all kinds of stuff between my visor and windows XP. My application, which is close to finish, registers arbitrary file extensions and can then receive the beam from windows and linux. It can beam the stuff back to PC of cause. The next part is tricky. I am currently trying to find a way to beam arbitrary files between Palm PDAs by encapsulating files inside a normal prc. Which will serve no other purpose but to allow the recipent to beam it back to a PC. Go back to my original question, windows and linux do know they are talking to a Palm/PDA when beaming. I am interested in knowing how it is possible. I suspect that I may have to use low level ir lib to do that and then use the high level exgmgr to do the rest.
