Thanks for your answers, both Hiro and Ron. I did the transfer after being frustrated -- I just moved and am in temp quarters, staying with my brother. All of my programs are packed away in storage.
What transfer did that I didn't like, was it let me pick applications only, but not WHICH applications, which would have avoided this problem. After the transfer, both PM4.1 and PM5 were on my new machine -- but I'd already been using 5. So I deleted 4.1 and that didn't help. When I re-downloaded PM5, I only moved over the application, I didn't try to reinstall because I didn't want to mess up my messages. I have the PM5 key in the right place, so that's not the problem. Yes, I'm getting "application unexpectedly quit" messages. Should I download and reinstell PM5 again?
