You're welcome. No, I've never done a restore. Last time I switched PDAs, I 
did it quick and dirty with the Windows Palm Desktop app. Things got a little 
gorked, but it wasn't hard to straighten out, particularly since both devices 
at least used the same Palm version.

Doing it again, I would go ahead and use the pilot-link restore function, 
using a directory containing only the data from the four main apps (four .pdb 
files).

Perhaps there's more that needs to be known. You might want to provide more 
information about the your devices, Palm versions, etc.
