	Unfortunately, yes. &append_Record puts the new record in the
"Unfiled" category.
	After that, it gets uglier, since there are no nice functions to
do a lot of the category-related stuff. You need to manually find the
category, then change the record. Something like the following:

	for ($i = 0; $i < Palm::StdAppInfo::numCategories; $i++)
	{
		if ($pdb->{appinfo}{categories}[$i]{name} eq "Personal")
		{
			$record->{category} = $i;
		}
	}
