Hi Beverly, thanks for your reply.

I hope that by "soft reset" I mean the same as you!

I don't think that I have a problem with too many running programs. I
haven't found a need for a task manager since I can close programs with the
built-in settings feature, and I have that on a short-cut button. But I do
find the Close/OK button rather strange, in that in Word Mobile (and other
built-in WM5 apps) it closes the document (with save, I'm pleased to read!)
but not the program. But there is a desktop precedent for that, I suppose.

"Bare heading" just meant a place-holder first paragraph in the document. I
had named the document, since I had re-opened it in order to complete it
with the bulk of the text. All nicely visible, spell-checked and so forth.
Which is what I have now lost. I'm pretty confident that I am not going to
find a back-up version anywhere, given that you make no reference to such a
built-in feature.

The "recurrent problem" I referred to arises with Navigon-5, which came
pre-installed on my Loox. The GPS device appears to be read using a separate
thread. I guess this because if I close the program and then switch off the
PDA without waiting a few seconds for the GPS-reception light to stop
blinking, the GPS device is held open and cannot be used by any other
program (including a re-start of Navigon) thereafter. Because switching off
is almost reflex I keep forgetting this precaution, and have to do a soft
reset to re-enable GPS usage. I have wondered if a Task Manager would enable
me to find the orphan thread and kill it. But I suspect that the device
would remain allocated, so a soft reset would still be needed.

Best regards, Mike.
