I was able to install "documents to go" but I think I broke the EULA.

Once I have moved everything over to the Z22 I'm going to try to repair
the M130.

I don't have a SD-card slot or infrared port on the Z22 but I never used
those on the M130 anyway.

I am still concerned about not having a cover so will order one soon.

regards,

Chris
