You're welcome. I keep a card with it installed just in case I might ever need it. Never actually have though so I am not sure if you need to reboot the newton or just insert the card.
Sorry I didn't get it to you in time before you did the wipe. There is another package, emergency something (or rescue me? not sure now) that if installed on a card, when inserted into the newton it will do a backup. And I *think* it will still work even if the newton has the password enabled. I know I have that file to and can dig it up if you need.
