(*) This will import and export the Date Book and Notepad when done in conjuction with the Name File.

• If you are exporting from a Newton application that contains fields not present in the designated supported Macintosh application, the information in the fields not supported in the Macintosh application will not be exported. For example, in Newton Connection, name file entries have a field for the e-mail address. Dynodex 3.0 does not have a field for the e-mail address. Therefore, if you export a name entry to a Dynodex file, the e-mail address will not be exported.

Similarly, if you are importing information from a Macintosh application that contains fields not present in the corresponding Newton application, data from the unsupported fields will not be imported.

for completeness, could you post a link so that others who find this thread later by searching can find that solution, too? Thanks!
