Quicken, OG Questions

Hi,
I have recently become interested in replacing my malfunctioning
HP200LX (constantly gives low battery warning even when fresh
batteries are put in and also even when on AC power:-( ) with
an OmniGo 100. I have closely followed discussions on it
in the palmtops newsgroup but still have quite a few questions.
I would be grateful for any help.

Well here goes:

1) Pocket Quicken
*Is it possible to get the free Pocket Quicken internationally?
I will most probably have to mail order the OG from the
U.S.
*How much space (kB) does Pocket Quicken require (excluding user data)?
*Is the serial cable all that is needed to load it from a PC
onto the Omnigo?
*Is it possible to access multiple quicken files (e.g. 1995.pdt,
1996.pdt)?
*In the 200LX Quicken, it is possible to create text file reports
on balances etc. Can this be done with the Omnigo Quicken?
If so where are the text files saved and how does one view them?
*Can I use my 200LX quicken files with the Omnigo Quicken?

2) Notes
*Is there a limit to the size of a note?

3) BAT files
*How does one run simple BAT files (e.g. mkdir b:\temp) on the Omnigo?
*What happens when there are errors (e.g. mispelling in the BAT file)?

4) FlashRAM
*According to Mobilis Magazine's web site, MagicRAM has developed
a special driver enabling flash card usage in the Omnigo. Does
anyone know if this driver is for generic flash cards or
only for MagicRAM's flash cards for the Omnigo?

5) PCMCIA Modems
*Is the driver to use a PCMCIA modem already loaded in the
Omnigo? I have an old 24/96 Xjack and it would
be cool if it can be used in an Omnigo!

Well, sorry for so many questions and thanks a million
in advance for your responses and your help!
