I suspect my problem might be associated with messing up the plugin.xml since
I'm not sure I fully understand how they link everything together. As said when
I last looked at this back in March I could never get the framework to correctly
identify my plugin.

Could you post your experimental one to this list please? I should be able to
use that as a springboard for a more complete PalmOS plugin.

Not yet! (I thought you just create a zip and tell folk to unzip it into the
plugins directory).

If at first you don't succeed then sky diving is probably not for you.
