- for them. Most will list there command line options when executed
- without any parameters. Refer to the README and CHANGELOG files
- for more details.
-
- To increase the communications speed between the computer and Pilot
- add
-
- SET PILOTRATE=xxxxx
-
- to your config.sys where xxxxx is 19200, 38400, 57600 baud. Some
- computers may have problems with 57600, 38400 is recommended.

- "Get Clipboard from Pilot" dose not actually put the contents of the
- Pilot's clipboard into the OS/2 clipboard. It just displays it to the
- screen. You can then use the window mark and copy commands to
- put the data into the OS/2 clipboard.
