Greetings,

I have a Sony SJ30 that I'm very happy with, especially the ability to view/edit Word and Excel files using Documents to Go. Yesterday I received a memory stick (128mg) and plan to put a LOT of word documents on it.

My question is, is there a way to organize the documents on the MS into folders or something similar? On the 'internal' I can choose (and create new) categories by which to organize the files, but it doesn't seem like I can do that for files on the MS.

Any suggestions or pointers to resources to read would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Brian

I have an SL-10 and found very good instructions in the Documents to Go help documentation under "Expansion Support". The instructions I have are for Palm OS4. When you follow the directions it creates a directory on the MS card called "DXTG", and this is where the program places your documents when you move them from your PC.

Not that I know of. All files put on the MS go into one folder and that is all.

Sorry Brian - I misread your initial post - a bit spacy today!

OMG - just hit submit in error! Whew! Time to get off the damn computer! :D I understand what you mean, Brian, by not being able to categorize DTG since the "category" has to be the name of the expansion card. You can whittle the list down a bit when viewing by switching between Document Type "Sheet to Go" and "word to Go", but that's about it.
