Yes...there is an international number given on the card which is
included with the OmniGo.
> *How much space (kB) does Pocket Quicken require (excluding user data)?
About 100 or 110K, I think.

Yes...it also requires the OmniGo package installer, but that is included
on the disk.

Yes...you can create multiple sets of accounts (I think this is what you
mean). I don't know if they are stored in separate files, but other than
that...

It does have a thing that generates reports on the screen, and I think
they can also be printed.
> *Can I use my 200LX quicken files with the Omnigo Quicken?
Don't know, but you could ask Intuit when you call them to order the
OmniGo Quicken.
> 2) Notes
> *Is there a limit to the size of a note?
Yes. 5000 characters.
> 3) BAT files
> *How does one run simple BAT files (e.g. mkdir b:\temp) on the Omnigo?

You can't, so far as I know, run batch files on the OmniGo. The closest
you could come would be to buy the IZL programming tool and write IZL
programs. However, since the OmniGo is GEOS-based, and not DOS-based, the
lack of batch file support is not really too much of an issue -- just
assume that DOS is unavailable to you and everything is fine. :)

I don't know about this as I have not bought a flash card yet.

Yes. My Megahertz 14.4 XJack modem works fine. It eats batteries at an
amazing rate, but it works. (Now if only I could get my WyndMail dialup
software configured right...)
