Thanks for the replies; there doesn't seem to be a good way!
Too bad the beam doesn't have a couple more flag-type options to it.
The un*x cp -u would be handy.

This seems like something that could? be added to one of the address
mamagers, depending on how much interrogation is possible over the IR link.
like NCU notices if packages already exist and skips them on install,
something like that for beaming names entries around...)
