i do not think pi direct works correctly in os 5 yet

PiDirect does not work on a OS5 unit.
Furthermore the company has stated that they have no plans on generating a version
for OS5.
If you search the threads in ClieSource you will find a few threads already addressing
this issue, and on MSMount.
Your only alternative would be a program called PowerRun.
There's a new version that works rather well on OS5 units for a few months now.
There has been nothing but positive things said about it.
I think only 1, or 2 apps did not play friendly from what I can remember.

Unfortunately, PowerRun and PiDirect perform entirely different functions.  For example, if you want to store pix on you MS and have them appear associated with contacts in Address Book, you can us PiDirect to designate the directory the card where the files are located.  Enabling PiDirect will allow the pix to appear in Address Book as if they were in RAM.  PowerRun doesn't do this.  In fact, the only difference I've seen between PowerRun and YiShow's built in siimilar functionality is that apps loaded from the card into RAM via Power Run will sync during Hotsync (such as data files associated with PocketQuicken with PQ loaded on the card).  I haven't tried the same thing with YiShow, but my bet is that it doesn't work the same way.

THE NX/NZ NEED A PIDIRECT TYPE APP

Yeah, I miss having PiDirect, it was faster loading apps.
