Arggh ... well I tried this.  It beamed M'Safe app to the new Vx, and it seemed to accept it, and appeared to put it into the "Unfiled" category of app, since it went to that screen (in the app menu).   But there's nothing listed there, or when I select "All" apps.   If I try to re-beam it though. it says MemFlashDB.ipro is already there (asks do I want to replace it ?)  So evidently something got beamed onto the new Vx, but I'm not able to access it at all.

If I look at the old Vx (that already has M'Safe), I see there are actually two versions of M'Safe.  I believe one is the "regular" app, and one is one they came out with later than gets installed onto the flash memory in the Palm (so that if you have to do a hard reset, there's still a version of M'Safe there that you can use to restore from a MemSafe device).  I'm not sure which is which.   But the other one is "locked", and it won't allow me to beam it at all.

So I'm kinda stuck.  I need to figure out some way to be able to access the one I was able to beam over, or how to beam over the locked one.   I do also have access to the M'Safe apps (on my computer and the disk that came with the device), so maybe I have to go the route of the cellphone with IR capability.  Might be easier to find an old PC though.

I don't know if you have any other ideas, but thanks for the suggestion anyhow, Heinz.
