Sure. My primary goal at the moment is to create a script or series of
scripts that merges differences between the OS X Address book and the
Palm Desktop using vCard as an exchange format (for export into a 3rd
party database for other processing.)
It seems a shame not to leverage the Palm Desktop export functionality,
since it will convert to vCard automatically (and presumably the import
will do the nice happy thing as well.) But there are two difficulties
I'm having with that:
1) I can't seem to get it to work. (no good examples and the dictionary
looks a little sparse.)
2) I'm guessing that the export, when scripted will actually export to
a file that I'd have to load back in and manage. Seems a bit
convoluted. But the alternative is to build the vCard myself, which I
REALLY don't want to do.
Any pointers?

and memo pad.
There's a dictionary to the desktop app that looks to be robust
enough for my purposes certainly. But I'm a bit unsure about how to
proceed from here.
Can you say more about what you want to do?
