I haven't got the development system running yet. (Only have had the Palm
for 30 hours now.) I've downloaded/installed most of the dev stuff
(cygwin, gcc, palm dev kit,...) but still a distance from figuring out how
to do a remote cvs out and then a build. (I've lived in OS/2 and in Linux,
but currently reside in Win2K.) So I'm limited-and-constrained to
pre-built binaries.
Well, that said, I decided to simply copy over the Python source files and
see what happens. Pretty cool. Problem seems solved. D'ya think maybe
the detail that it's self-compiling and not dependant on all this
development environment stuff might be important enough to put into the
docs somewhere?!

Much better. Thank you. But oddly it's not mentioned in the Plucker
manual, the plucker.ini comments, or any of the documentation. I do see it
referenced on line 653 of spider.py, line 97 of ToDo as an option to add,
and three times in writer.py, although none commented well enough to denote
what it does. Which leads me to the question... is Plucker in need of some
helpfile/manual updates and additions? I'm a programmer but I give good
docs. <g>
