ok, switched to plain text, and on the bottom  :)

Did what you requested, 1st got a popup error
"The Application "gpilotd" has quit unexpectedly."

It did continue in the terminal though, starting with;

Listening for incoming connection on /tmp/pilot... connected!

   Reading list of databases in RAM and ROM...

then a HUGE list of what looks like everytihng on the treo and them
some, ending with;

 List complete. 485 files found.


   Thank you for using pilot-link.

So at least it was able to read from the device, just not sure how to
tell the OS that the device is on /device/something, and / or is there
more to it.  I see evo uses /dev/pilot which I can simply sym link to.

Thanks.
