I have a batch file that creates a command file and calls omnicom
which then executes those commands. And I have the reverse to
perform the restore (although it failed last time I tried it - I
had problems with omnicom). I just backup all the files in the
B:/geoworks/document directory (as I already have copies of the
files in C:/geoworks/document).

Using omnigo you use 'cd' to change local diretory (ie on the PC)
and 'sd' to change directory on the OmniGo. And yes, you can put
a 'sd' and several 'put' or 'get' commands in a file and get
omnicom to execute the file.
