I see. Thank you for clearing that up.

After completely halting gpilot and rebooting and various attempts at 
finding the right order of pressing which sync button at which time, 
something has finally changed. The error no longer comes up, and if I 
press the sync on the Palm first, and then the sync button in JPilot 
second, I can successfully sync between them.

I appreciate you and the other members of the list walking me through 
this and getting it to work.
