	Actually, this only deletes the records that were on the
desktop. If the user has created any records on the Palm, the generic
conduit will copy them to the desktop.

	If you really want to delete everything, you'll need to write
a Sync conduit to do so. The DLP DeleteRecord call takes a special
argument value to mean "delete all records," so this should be a
fairly short script. Unfortunately SPC.pm doesn't have the
DeleteRecord function yet.
