QuikNote

Version 2.10f of QuikNote - Minor Update * Fixes yet another problem of an Overflow or String Too Long error message when deleting a very long note * Corrects problem with a second Bring function in another application, after a successful Bring has been done once, but when the edit window is not opened for the second bring (ex. Word loops out with BUSY) Note that the manual is in PSION Word format - download to your Psion to read it, or use Psi-Win to convert it to MS Word format, etc. Also note that the global hot key feature requires you to EXIT and RESTART QuikNote in order to see the hot key take effect since the hot key is only set during the initialization of the program!
