Thanks, but I have tried without success. If I set out what I've done,
it might help others as well as myself to know where I went wrong.

1.  I got my "magic number" without difficulty.

2.  I then made as plsin text file,substituting my "magic number" for
"666666" - copied at the foot of this message.

3.  I then added my \CardInst\Slot-SD folder to the output directories
for one channel. (This must have worked as when later I updated the
channel, a file channelname.pdb was created in that folder.)

4.  Finally I took the step where I may have failed, giving the command
to be executed after spidering, in terms set out at the foot of this
message.

When I then updated the channel, the newly created channelname.pdb file
was sent to the Install Tool, for installation to the handheld, not the
card.

I did it all again with the same result.

I then noticed that the newly created .pdb file was appearing both in
the \CardInst\Slot-SD folder and the \install folder. So I tried to
fiddle, and removed the \plucker\channels folder from the list of
destinations set for the channel, and deleted the channelname.pdb file
wherever it appeared. Updated again, and despite what I had just done,
the new .pdb file appeared in all three places, and was in the Install
Tool directed to the handheld.

I tried to change its destination manually within the Install Tool, but
got a message "cannot change destination of file" or words to that
effect. I thought it might be because the .pdb file was already in the
\CardInst\Slot-SD folder, so I deleted it from there, and tried manually
again, this time with success. (That had the effect of removing the file
from the \Install folder and into the \CardInst\Slot-SD folder.

So it seems that what I am doing is directing the file both to the
handheld and the card, and what I need is to stop it going to the
handheld.

Grateful for advice as to where I am going wrong.
