And I missed the chance to quiz David Nagel on this yesterday! Damn/

Yes, I took it over to my OSX machine (which has Palm 4) and found this
difference. But I have now created a serviceable script which lets you name
a day, sort of appointment, and length of time. A touch more and it'll let
you choose up to two categories and tell you if there's any conflicts. And
it'll encode a Eudora message id so you can backtrack from Palm to the
email one made the appointment/event from.
Would anyone else have any use for that?
