SYNOPSIS

	pilot-read-expenses [-p|--port <port>] [-q|--quiet] [--version] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-w|--write]

DESCRIPTION

	pilot-read-expenses is used to output the Expense data in a simple text format, which can be used to import into any other application you
       wish, such as Excel or other application.

       If you have expense entries saved on your Palm in the ExpenseDB.pdb file, you can export them to a simple text format, and redirect that to
       a file/pipe, or STDOUT (the default) using pilot-read-expenses.

       The output data will resemble something like the following:

		   Category: Unfiled Type:   5 Payment:   7 Currency:  23 Amount: 400.00 Vendor: Super Salads City: Westerly
