Did that, nothing.

It moved everything fine - leaving 17 entries on internal, that all
seemed to have to do with Owner, Hiroshis driver or Dock...

Nope, same problem.

This worked.
1. Export (text delimited) all Names via NCU
If relevant, copy WEP hex key to notes....
2. Remove Names soup with soupKitchen.
Everything (dock, wireless card setup, owner) now complains -
must be lost owner connection
3. Reset Newton (owner now OK, wireless card setup acessible)
4. Fill in WEP stuff on card setup if applicable, 'cause it has disappeared...
5. Connect to NCU
6. Import the text delimited Names file to Names (through two dialog boxes)
7. Look, with great satisfaction, at a number of names (after
changing it to show all Names(!))
8. Tap Notes in a NameCard previously frozen with the viewClass
complaint: it opens up for editing!
Thanks Dan.
It seems to me that all my 'Locations' (places where meetings take
place) are now regular Name-Cards. They were not before. Before they
were not editable. They show up under locations in Dates all right,
however, so all is well.
The final issue is how it happened. It happened to several people
around the time it happened to me. I guess I'll try to pay
attention....
