My previous version was 1.2.4 and thanks for the evo shutdown command. 
I copied the vCard info and there was no trouble getting that to work,
but the iCal files did not come through.

This worked for the vCard info, but not the iCal file.

Yep, they are there, but I'm assuming that the "old files" command is
looking for it in the home directory. I've moved it to my second HD and
want to point to it but it is grayed out and won't allow me.

Thanks for the help. I'll keep trying on the iCal stuff.  Trying all
sorts of ways it keeps coming up "Error" and kills Evo so that I have to
sometimes shut it down.

Again, thanks.
