Good point.  Any idea where would be prominent?  Is it mentioned in the
gnome-pilot help docs?

Note that the drag-and-drop only (as far as I know) supports .pdb
and .prc files, not general files.

Jenni, the hotsync icon is provided by the gnome-pilot applet.  To
enable the applet, right click on your taskbar, search for 'pilot' and
you should see the applet offered.

You can also use the gpilot-install-file utility from the command line,
which works either interactively or schedules the file for upload at
your next sync (using the '--later' option).
