I have moved the card to another Newton, everthing was there and I was able
to refile and create new entries with no problem. Deleted all names info

Recreated Personal Info. Errors appeared to have disappeared. Hooray!

It is more likely a result of my not leaving enough free memory. I had
reduced it to about 64K. Obviously, insufficient.

Oh Yes, Several times. It seems that wiping the total names file has done the
trick. Oh how I hated to do that.
