Thank you ever so much for this workaround!
I've been stumbling around installing packages and transferring notes
through Simplemail, NetHopper and NewtFTP ever since I installed

feel good! :-)
I completely forgot I could move the search window down and tap
connect. Thanks for getting me back in action!
