This manual describes the installation and use of PM Psi Utilities, the OS/2 PM environment for Erik Huelsmann's fine PSI Utilities. The PM Environment is written by Peter v.d. Kamp, with the help of DrDialog.
All the information in this manual applies to Version 1.0a of the PM Psi Utilities.

The PSI Utilities do not have a print function (to print a Psion file via the PC). The PM PSI Utilities facilitates this by copying a file from the Psion to the PC and directly send the copied file to the printer (assuming that a printer is connected to the PC). If you want to use this function for printing Psion Word files, do the following (this information applies to the Psion Series 5mx).
Print via

Settings
and enter a file name. Tap OK, tap OK again.
When the PSI Utilities are used on a notebook computer, the serial port could be
disabled when the computer leaves the standby or hibernation mode. Communication with
the Psion will not work then. You can try the following workaround (this works fine
for a IBM Thinkpad 600E).
Open a OS/2 window and enter the following command:
mode com1:115200
(Assuming that you use com1
for communication with the Psion and your
serial port supports this speed.)
