Re: What does "file link" do in Shadowplan?

Anita,

Thanks for the note.  While painful from a time perspective, I've 
converted everything.  It's not perfect; however, I think the single 
list, with a little "sticktoitiveness", will work out fine.  Of 
course, I'm not down to one list; I have a work list, a "honey do" 
list, and a few other checklists for Christmas, grocery shopping, 
etc. ;).

The only problems I'm having relate to the desktop.  For some reason, 
I've lost access to the different Tags within my Errands set.  The 
Tags are still there on the handheld (with proper links), but I've 
lost the Tags on the desktop.  No big deal since my Centro is always 
within reach on the weekends.

Thanks again!

Todd
