It doesn't help that the on-line manual bears little relation to what
you see on the web interface.  I don't use Palmtool as I don't use
Windows regularly.

I have discovered where in the .bin file that you upload to the phone,
you can change the second line display and the useragent name (2 places
each - dunno why, 16 char max), but I can't find out how to stop the
annoying toggle between the display name and the version number.  Now I
can customise the phone to some extent :)

I also cannot work out why there is an ordinary password and a
superpassword, they both seem to allow access to the same areas.
