Serial comms on the Palm isn't that unusal and any simple serial-based chat program should give you the basis to implement the data transfer. Your users would then start a program on both the Palm and the desktop with a 'data transfer' option. These programs would establish a serial connection and copy data blocks as required. It's not a trivial job, but certainly achievable. Chris Tutty -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
