I'm not sure we're talking about the same view. I was trying to to
describe beaming the individual DateMan items, looking at the DateMan
display. From my "Agenda" view, it lists all of my TODOs, Calls, etc.
If I check them then tap the routing slip, it doesn't give beam as an
option. If i tap on an individual item which allows me to edit it, then
Beam is an option. In fact, from the Agenda view, I only have "OBEX
Dates" and "Mail" as routing options (ignoring things like delete,
duplicate, etc.). From the edit slip routing button, I get those plus
"Print", "FAX", and "Beam".

I think it has to be, otherwise my registration codes wouldn't have
worked with the other packages from SAS.
Hmmm, I don't seem to have FreezeMan on *either* MP; I wonder if I used
to have and deleted it but it somehow activated features on the old MP
that aren't working on the new. Unfortunately, SAS has removed all of
there old descriptions of the Newton packages; you can download and
purchase (at least the page to do so is there), but there are no
descriptions anymore. Maybe I should drop them a note....

Unfortunately, I'm running on a Windoze 95 host. That's why I was
wondering about switching to use NBU over AppleTalk.

Ah, I got it. After the squeek, I have to pick up the stylus *then*
drag again. Thanks!
