Question: How do I transfer BluefishRx to a new handheld? I want to use a new hot sync name and not restore everything from my old handheld.

Hot sync your handheld to put the latest backup on your desktop. Find your handheld's backup directory on your desktop. This is where a copy of all your handheld's files are stored.

Open 'My Documents' from the 'Start' menu and tap the 'Folders' button in the top of the window. In the left column tap the '+' next to 'My computer'. Tap the '+' next to 'Local Disk (C:)'. Tap the '+' next to 'Program Files'. Tap the '+' next to 'palmOne'.

You will now see a list of folders. One of these folders will be your user name for your handheld. Tap the '+' next to this folder. You will now see a folder named 'Backup'. Tap that folder. In this folder you will find as many as 40 files starting with BFRx...... Copy all these files and paste them to a new folder. Also find and copy the InkToolsDB.pdb file to this folder.

Note: This is the default location of your backup folder although you may have chosen another location or this defauly location may have changed. An alternative way to find your backup folder is to search for files on your harddisk starting with 'BFRx'. Search 'BFRx*.*'.

Now after installing BluefishRx on your new handheld, hot sync all the files in this folder to your new device.
