Sounds like you aren't updating the lists in HS, either manually or automatically...or you don't have the right type/category set in HS to see the file.

The process HS goes through is to first look in the palm/launcher/ folder for a readable file (that's where hotsync sends it if you choose to hotsync to card). It will then move the file to palm/programs/HandStory/ folder when the program opens and you have "update lists" set to automatic or do so manually. You can also move files directly into the palm/programs/HandStory/ folder by other methods, and HS will read the files as well...but HS does not "see" any new file until the "update lists" command is invoked.

Is this the process that's happening, and you're still not seeing the file? Have you tried changing the two dropdowns at the top of the HandStory screen to "All" and "All"? Sometimes the files are there but categorized in an odd way and remain hidden until the right type/category settings are used.

Let me know if that fixes it!

Cheers,
Gary
