pilot-install-todo options -P, --priority priority Specify the priority of the ToDo entry - 1|2|3|4|5 (defaults to a priority of 1).

Conduit Options -p, --port <port> Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this is not specified, pilot-install-todo will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If neither are found or supplied, pilot-install-todo will print the usage information. -q, --quiet Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message -v, --version Display version of pilot-install-todo and exit without connecting. Help Options -h, --help Display the help synopsis for pilot-install-todo and exit without connecting. --usage Display a brief usage message and exit without connecting. USAGE
The program will connect to a target Palm handheld, and creates the ToDo entry to the Palm ToDo application, using the specified parameters and input from the supplied file passed as arguments on the commandline. EXAMPLE
pilot-install-todo -p /dev/pilot -n 'Buy Milk' -D 'Go shopping, see note for items' AUTHOR
