I did find that only certain text sizes work, so it is worth incrementing text size from the preset value until you find those that work. Regards John

Alan, you didn't say what device you wanted to use this on.  For the
Psions there are a number of macros at   http://www.pscience5.net/that
you may find useful.

I'm writing a FileNote macro for the Nokia 9300/9500 which does
something similar but I have to call it up with Chr+hotkey as FileNote
only accepts Chr global hotkeys.  I have it working, but the expansions
are currrently held in the OPL file and I want to set them up in a
little OPL database, so that they can be more easily maintained.
Preferably, I would like to use a straight text file for this as then I
could use the same file on the 9500 and the PC.  If you do find an OPL
version of what you were using previously, I would be interested in
seeing how the spacebar activated the auto complete.

On my PC I use AutoHotKey for autocompletions.  My list can be very
quickly and easily maintained as a text file in NoteTab or any text
editor.  It works exactly as you described.  Typing an abbreviation and
pressing the spacebar, tab or full stop expands the abbreviation.  I
find it incredibly useful for expanding names and even entire
paragraphs!  AutoHotKey will expand in any application that uses text
even web forms.

Thanks to Martin and the others who responded.

Yes, It's for Psions - EPOC R5.  I am however interested in versions for
use if I ever get a Nokia communicator.  The E90 looks interesting, but
can't be found anywhere in my area of the UK.

I joined the FileNote list, but just look at the moment.

I was drooling at the Nokia N810 (again), and thinking it'd be the perfect replacement of my Nokia 9500 - if only it had PIM functionality...  Thing is, it turns out there is at least two *possible* ways that this might already be possible:

1. Garnet VM ( http://www.access-company.com/products/gvm/) is basically a Palm OS emulator, which even supports Hot Sync over TCP/IP.  It comes with Date Book (calendar?) and Address (contacts?) as standard.  If it can wake-up the N810 for alarm reminders (anyone know?), and it works with the keyboard, then awesome - I'm sold!

2. GPE Calendar has been ported (
http://oss.kernelconcepts.de/maemo/calendar.shtml), which can be synchronised with Google Calendar using Erminig (or just downloaded from Google using iCal format), but I am slightly concerned that (a) "alerts don't work so far", and (b) it only mentions the Nokia 770 so maybe development has halted.  Would like to know for sure if alerts work or not on the N810 (which might have an AT daemon?).

If one of those solutions has working alarm reminders, then the N810 does everything I could want - and more!  Touch-screen & keyboard, GPS navigation (built-in), a proper web browser (better than iPhone), an email client, a music player (even from a local UPnP server), video (but no decent DivX sadly), take & view pictures (camera built-in), RSS feeds, PDF reader, instant messaging (add-on), file manager, backup util, and a ton of 3rd-party apps thanks to being open (unlike the iPhone), etc...  It even seems pretty future-proof, as Nokia have supported upgrading previous models to the latest OS.

Some *please* tell me it can do PIM properly :-)

Does any one know where I can get the Mobipocket reader for my 7book.  I had it for years for all of my Psions and now I can't find it or a copy.  I went to the Mobipocket site and can't find the .sis file any more.  They have all the newer stuff but not our trusty old Psions.

Thanks,
Bobby

Anyone who knows how to register this Psion-programme? It's possible to download a 30day-trial from Tucows, but the owner, Stampark, seems to have closed down.
Are there free unlocked versions available?
