NAME
       pilot-read-notepad - List the record information found in the Palm
       Notepad

SECTION
       pilot-link: Userland conduits

SYNOPSIS
        pilot-read-notepad [-p|--port <port>] [-q|--quiet] [--version]
       [-?|--help] [--usage] [-l|--list] [-t|--type  ppm|png]

DESCRIPTION
       Connect to the Palm handheld and list the record information found in
       the Palm Notepad application (found on OS4 and newer devices). If
       --type is specified, each record's image will be converted to files,
       using Portable Network Graphic (.png) or Portable Pixmap (.ppm) format.

        pilot-read-notepad allows a user running PalmOS 4.0 or later to read
       the data stored in the Palm Notepad application and extract the data
       into images and convert them to Portable Network Graphics (.png) or
       Portable Pixmap (.ppm) files.

       pilot-read-notepad will print the usage information.
