So, your script relies on 'make memo' opening the memo detail window so that you can set the title of 'memo 0', and that is no longer happening. The best way to rewrite your script is to just indicate the desired title when creating the memo:

make memo with properties {title:"Handheld Note: To Do Item"}

Or, for something closer to your script, you could use the result of 'make memo':

make memo
set the title of the result to "Handheld Note: To Do Item"

This didn't used to work as-is in previous versions, because Palm Desktop returned "object records" instead of references. Now it behaves in the expected way, and "object records" have been removed altogether. 'make memo', for example, might now return:

-> memo id 42

Thanks Chris!

That is very helpful but I have one very basic question still to ask (sorry, but I'm entirely new to scripting) - what is the simplest way to have the detail window open at the end of the script?

Even better would be to have it open and the "dialog" for attaching to an existing item also open, ready for the tab to be dragged to its target...

Or best yet, have it automatically attached to the frontmost (or selected) address/to do item/event. I have no idea if this is possible and even less idea about how to implement it - but I'm sure a lot of people would have a use for such a script if it can be written!
