       install-memo [-p ] [-rt] [-c ] [ ...]



DESCRIPTION
       install-memo allows the user to write one or more files as a new	 memo
       or memos, respectively, onto the Palm handheld.



OPTIONS
       -p, --port 
	      Use  device  file  to communicate with the Palm handheld.
	      If this is not specified, will look for the $PILOTPORT environ-
	      ment   variable.	 If   both   are   not	 found	or  supplied,
	      install-expenses will fall back to /dev/pilot.

	      Display the help synopsis for install-memo.



       -v, --version
	      Display version of install-memo.



       -c, 
	      Install memo(s) to category defined by 	 by  default.
	      Normally	install-memo uses the Unfiled category as the default
	      category if no category is chosen.



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



       -t     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	 sup-
	      plied with the -t option).



USAGE
       The program will connect to the Palm handheld, and create memo entries
       for each file(s) given on the commandline into the Memo	Pad  applica-
       tion on the Palm.



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 Pal-
	      mOS design itself.
