A few notes on Wayne's post:

As always, there is a risk of hosing your system when messing with your
GEOS.INI files. I recomend you backup your GEOS.INI file before you start.

In addition to changing what programs are executed from the hard icons, you
can also call programs not in the top WORLD directory. For instance, if you
move Spread Sheet to b:\geoworks\world\apps, then you will need to change
the hardIconBar section to read "app7 = apps\Spread sheet".

I recomend that you combine NET.INI and GEOS.INI. Simply copy everything in
a particular section to the other files's section. If the section doesn't
exist, create it by copying over the section header as well.

As I said before, programs launched by the hardIconBar need to be in the
top WORLD directory unless you change the hardIconBar section. Therefore,
you should probably initially copy at least these applications to
b:\geoworks\world.

I recommend that you also add the "document = SYS:\document" to the paths
section as well. I had a problem with having to enter the time and date
after a KR-09 error that this seemed to solve.

If anybody want's to run Desktop applications on thier OmniGo, buy at least
a 5 meg flash card and drop me a line.
