[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Strange problem with Pocket Quicken

[George Pytlik]

The issue mentioned on the landware site is a little different from my
problem. I don't actually want to sync with both data files. In the conduit
you have the option of using the last file opened or a specific data file.
Since I select a specific file, it should use that file all the time, no
matter which one was last opened. But whenever the other file is opened, it
blanks out the file name that was set in the specified file field, forcing
you to specify the file all over again.

I assume this is a problem with the Pocket Quicken 2.5 conduit and not with
The Missing Sync.
