TA-t3,
Thanks for your post! I've left you lots of thanks for all the script suggestions I've lifted from your work!

To answer your question, no, I didn't try to launch the scripts manually from XTerm until after I saw your post. I tried just launching a Palm app (Pleco Dict) using the following script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gvm/gvm -O yes -z 1.5 -f yes -i D050 -a PLDE -u "Xxx Xxx:1107" -S
When I tried running this with the "-S" option, I got this error:

HTML Code:
/home/user/MyDocs # sh Pleco.sh
Garnet (tm) VM v1.0 (Prod-Release) - Build 611976 (Nov 25 2008-18:07:55)
GVM:  Unknown option -S
After I eliminated the -S option, the VM did launch. However, it launched directly to the Prefs screen in Portrait mode. None of my installed apps showed up when I hit the home button.
When I exited that GVM and launched the GVM launcher from the menu, I was able to see all my installed apps just fine, but the Hotsync ID was still set to: 0. Even when I changed the App Creator ID to Filz (Filez), I got the same result.

I originally used TextWrangler on my Mac with line endings set to Unix mode. The latest scripts were typed on LeafPad on my n810, so I assume there should be no carriage return problem.

I also tried writing the script with all "short" OR all "long" options (i.e., "-f" versus "--fullscreen"), but that didn't change the outcome. Any ideas why I can't get the GVM to launch correctly?
