Hm.. you may be right. I just went and booted my wife's windows laptop, and
went looking to see if I could jog my memory, and I can't even figure out how
I would start a hotsync from software. I must have been imagining it.

I seem to remember, though, that during the installation process of the
software, there was something that did what I'm describing. But my memory is
fuzzy, so I may be entirely wrong.

I've never actually synced the handspring to windows (My wife uses windows
and a palm V, and I use linux and the handspring).

I doubt I will, but I'll post something should I ever get around to working
on it ;)

Sorry for the noise...
