Ive got a Tungsten E, my first ever Palm and Ive hardley put the thing
down for the last two weeks, very happy even if it does preffer over
night charges.

anyway, me being new and all, is it normal that some applications wont
work from a card but insist on living on the handheld?

an example of this is Niggle.
if it is on the card but not my handheld it wont work, or at least it
cant find its files like dictionary.
if i copy it from the card to the handheld then it finds the files no
problem.

Is there a way to do a sort of "alias" path on a palm? and tell the OS
to look on the card aswell as the internal memory?

The reason this bothers me, and this maybe my newbieness, is I wonder
if I am going to eat up all my Tungsten E memory by having stuff
installed on it whilst my card is sitting there half empty!
