(I was telling it to make... with property {...} which clearly upset it.)

IIRC, Palm Desktop 2.6 doesn't support "with properties". Confusingly, it uses the term "with" for what is really "with data", but it takes a property record. And as you discovered, it doesn't produce an error to let you know when something is wrong. I've since changed it to support "with properties" and "with data" appropriately. No promises on when/if this new version will ship.

In any case, you should upgrade to the latest Palm Desktop 4.x if possible, as it fixes a number of bugs, and the AppleScript terminology was cleaned up a bit. For example, "create new event with" has been renamed to "make new event with data".
