OPTIONS

   pilot-install-memo options
			       -c,
			       --category category

       Install memo(s) to category defined by category. pilot-install-memo uses the Unfiled category as the default category  if  no  category	is
       chosen or if the specified category does not already exist on the Palm.

			       -f,
			       --file STRING

       File containing the target memo entry. Append other filenames to install one memo per file.

			       -r, --replace

       Replace all memos in the category specified by the -c  category option.

			       -t --title

       Use  the  filename  as  the title for the memo. (Normally, the first line of a memo is used as the title if one is not supplied with the -t
       option).

   Conduit Options
			       -p, --portport

       Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this is not specified, pilot-install-memo will look  for  the	$PILOTPORT
       environment variable. If neither are found or supplied, pilot-install-memo will print the usage information.

			       -q,
			       --quiet

       Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message

BUGS

   Known Bugs
       The Palm Device has a maximum length of 4,096 bytes (4k) on memopad  entries,  if  you  wish  to  retain  the  ability  to  edit  the  Memo
       (add/remove/change  data within the memo) on the Palm itself. You can create a memo entry of 65,490 bytes in size (the absolute maximum) if
       you do not need to edit the memo entry any further on the Palm device itself. Any memo larger than 4,096 bytes and less than  65,490  bytes
       will not be editable on the Palm itself. Consider these memo entries "read-only".

       This is not specifically a "bug", but a limitation in the PalmOS design itself.

   Reporting Bugs
       We  have  an online bug tracker. Using this is the only way to ensure that your bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are
       resolved or closed. Reporting bugs via email, while easy, is not very useful in terms of  accountability.  Please  point  your  browser	to
