but tried to open up, but it seems not met.
GVM doesn't let you just run PRCs from the command line; you have to first "install" it in the virtual Palm,and then launch it with the application ID (a four-character identifier associated with each app - you can get that from something like FileZ or some other Palm filemanager program). I've no idea what the ID is for SmartList2Go, tho.

The "Exec" line, IIRC, should read:
Exec = /usr/bin/gvm/gvm -a IDID -f

Replace the "IDID" part with the actual application ID.
