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

       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,

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
       http://bugs.pilot-link.org: http://bugs.pilot-link.org and report your
       bugs and issues there.
