This problem was resolved by deleting and re-installing the program. The 
error message was bogus and never appeared again after deleting and 
reinstalling. After re-installing, everything worked as expected 
including the RS-232 communications. The $29.95 reconditioned Palm IIIxe 
performed as well as the more expensive Palm's.

I've seen this happen before. A program has a fatal error and the 
solution is to delete and re-install the program. Does anyone know why 
this happens?
