ExpertPlus Mode

I just seriously trashed my Zoomer loading ExpertPlus mode. As a result, I
have two tips:

1. If you don't have a C: drive (ie flash card), REM out the following line:

if exist C:\PENRIGHT.BAT A:\PCCOM /c:1 /b:19200

otherwise, you end up in an infinite Abort/Retry/Fail loop with no way out. Or
at least no way I could find. I had to do a hard reset. Which leads to my
next tip:

2. The .BAT files tell you to do a complete backup of your Zoomer before trying
to load ExpertPlus. DO THIS DO THIS DO THIS!!!!!!!!! My last backup was data
only, and was a month old. Due to my own lack of foresite, I lost a month's
worth of data. Also have to reload Graffiti when I get home tonight. The
moral of the story is BACKUP BEFORE LOADING EXPERTPLUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Having said that, I'll say I like the new mode so far. I had done some of the
changes manually from reading the FAQ, but not all. Very nice.

PS Don't forget to backup!

PPS I mean it.
