[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Copy from 8125 to MAC Desktop

[Thomas Arroyo IV]

Hey Bill,
That was me that was having the problem. I have since stopped using my 
MAC to transfer files until that issue has been corrected. If I need 
something that bad on my MAC I end up emailing it to myself. I will try 
that cut and paste idea and see if that works. If so then there is a 
definite problem with the code for full compatibility with the MDA/8125. 
Thanks for the update on that.
