 HotSync a bit to do it, but if you alter the name of the
 files to a name below 99, such as "01_GCD.PDB" you might be

 out some other runs to make room for them. >>

Okay, the files are there, and I got them hot sync'd to the PC. The format is 
quite different, so I could not send them straight to GEEZ. I re-named them 
and tried to send them to open run numbers where I deleted a bunch. I told 
palm desktop to do it as a file install, no good. I told it to over write all 
palm with PC data, no good. I then tried to make it overwrite a non deleted 
run with the new run, and the Palm Desktop saw an overwrite error and 
corrected it for me by restoring the original non deleted run, and re-naming 
the new info to another non useable name. UGH!!.

I see that the very first text in the file is the run number.GCD  I will also 
try changing this to see what it does, but it is getting late. It seems there 
must be an index file on the palm, but I can't figure out what it is or how 
it is formatted, if I have already found it. The new runs 61 - 65 seem to be 
on the palm, but they don't come up in the download listing. The GEEZ 
download still thinks those files have been deleted. 

If I figure this out I will let you all know. But I seriously doubt anyone 
else will ever go belond 99 stored runs in the palm. I did get the 3xe with 8 
meg so it still has plenty of room for more runs though.
