:-) 	Ah, well, that's the problem with free software. There's no

:-) doesn't cost $75 per incident to get no help).

Yeah, but whining sometimes gets me enough info to go bang away...

:-) 	If you have a script or program that dumps a PDB to a file,
:-) then it knows the ID of each record, and it can dump that ID to the
:-) output file. IIRC, 'gnomecal' and 'gnomecard' use the iCalendar and
:-) vCard formats, respectively, and those allow you to add just about
:-) anything you want, as long as it has an "X-" in front.
:-) 	Unfortunately, the last time I looked at it, the Net::ICal
:-) Perl module didn't support "X-" fields, so you'd have to add that.

Ah...so, it does not live on the pilot anywhere?  Humm...time to dive
into the code....

:-) 	If you're trying to get the username and user ID from the Palm
:-) and feed those to conduits, I don't have any plans to add such a
:-) thing, but I suppose it might be useful, so feel free to add it. I
:-) don't think it should be too hard.

No, the PILOTID & UID are like serial numbers for each record...makes
the logic in the conduits a whole lot cleaner.

Thanks for the pointers!

Don
