Ok, folks, I've pored over the extensive discussion on scripting Palm Desktop 4.1, but I don't think I saw a definitive work-around. I really need to get this working, so here goes.

I need to create to-dos and memos on the fly, but setting their titles seems impossible via variable.
Explicit titling works fine:

make new to do with properties {title:"My ToDo Item"}
*or*
make new memo with properties {title:"My Memo", contents:someOtherText}

However, these *fail* every time:

make new to do with properties {title:someText}

This works for me:

set someText to "test todo"
tell application "Palm Desktop"
make new to do with properties {title:someText}
end tell

*or*
make new memo with properties {title:someText, contents:someOtherText}

And this:

set someText to "test todo"
set someOtherText to "still testing"

tell application "Palm Desktop"
make new memo with properties {title:someText, contents:someOtherText}
end tell

Where are the values for your variables coming from or, maybe more important, are they styled text that PD doesn't know how to deal with?
