First, if you are going to change to Palm Desktop from Entourage, you need
to change the subject a bit!
Second, Palm's dictionary is hopelessly out of sync with the reality of its
scripting terms; apparently no one at Palm cares to keep it current.
(Dictionaries are readable by using "Open Dictionary" from Script Editor's
File menu, and opening the application file, but don't bother with Palm.) It
is useless; the only way to find what works is to find existing scripts, or
to ask, or just blindly try. It's pretty hopeless in my opinion, and in the
opinion of most who have tried.
