I have a 32 MB SD card. Did anyone know how to copy program from palm to SD card? Also, what kind of software I have to use in order to view what program I have in my SD card.
Thanks a lot for the help.

Cindy,
There is a free program that will allow you to do what you want. It is called "Filez" and it can be downloaded from Palmgear. Once you install it on the palm it will allow you to copy files from palm to card or from card to palm. Also it will let you see the files on your palm or card and work with them as you need. I will put the link below.
Click on this link to get "Filez" (http://www.palmgear.com/software/showsoftware.cfm?sid=66354120020919222700&prodID=9992)
Hope this helps and have a good day,
Calvados

You CAN do it using the software built into the Palm itself, but it only lets you COPY programs from RAM to card or card to RAM, and it doesn't "see" databases used by programs. (Go to Applications, then tap Menu and tap Copy. Choose the Copy To and From options at the top of the screen, then tap the name of the program you want to copy and tap Copy at the bottom.)
But you're really better off following Calvados' advice and using Filez. You have many more options available that way--you can create directories on the card and move programs to them (great when using "card-aware" programs like FireViewer (which needs images to be in a specific directory on the card) or a program like MSMount, which lets you treat a directory on the card like it was in RAM), and you can MOVE programs and/or databases to the card (or from card to RAM).

Cindy,
You have recieved good advice thus far and I hope not to muddy the waters.
My favorite file manager is "myWorkBench" from Danny Wong at ToySoft.ca. If you intend to make the most of your palm there will be many times that you will need the tools that are available in myWorkBench. If you are just getting started follow the advice already given. I might also add McFile; another good basic tool.

Hi everyone,
Do any of you know if Filez works well with Silverscreen?
Thanks.
