Thanks for this tip - I tried that, and it seems to have told me that 
VersaMail is {the|one of the} cuprit(s).

One thing of note, however, is that it seems SafeGuard is happier on a 
Treo than a TX - the system throws non fatal (0x0505) System Errors, 
which the Palm OS docs tell me are SystemManager errors.  I suspect it 
runs into trouble trying to call functions for the non-existant phone. 
I also can't get to the main menu.

That said, for the trial version, it was worth the effort.

Yes - it seems that doing a complete restore has been part of the 
problem, so I am being a little more organized about restoring, rather 
that a shotgun method.

NVBackup seems to work a treat though - pretty nifty; I'd been living 
with jpilot and pilot-xfer, but it's nice to have something that will 
restore in the field (or bush!)

Yeah, we'll see how that pans out.  I believe Paul (or others) here have 
successfully run the TX w/Univ. Wireless Keyboard for lengthy periods of 
time, no?
