Hey Monte!. I nearly did. Still feels a tad foreign though.

Good idea - and that's where the problem seems to lie. No dice with my details included. I've tried copying and pasting the key and secret in as well as typing them in directly. No go either way and there don't appear to be any dodgy characters in either. Is there likely to be a delay in these things being recognised?

If only I could get that far ;)

I've setup an app on Dropbox, so I have an app key and secret to pass in the mergDropbox setup command but nothing happens when I do. All this works fine in the demo stack that comes with the external (which links me to Monte's demo Dropbox app) BTW.
