A defected from PalmOS to WinMob, and I hate it. Oh, it works, but not
like PalmOS worked - when it worked. One of my favorite POS facilities
was Paul's stuff. Scripting lots of functions. Oh, if only the Treo
could have withstood the stability problems of trying to do all I asked
of it.

Android would come to AT&T, and Paul would come with it, there would be
one more reason to spend money on a new device. I really miss the scripting.

I made the switch some months ago to Android (G1). And the applications I
miss most are ptools and pedit.

Ok I also miss ereader and audible but that's not the apps but because they
are propietory formats that haven't made it to the android yet.

The android crys out for nevaisation. 4 nice buttons for ptools, not too hot
editing in the text boxes. A mechanism for paul to make money - the market -
full size keyboard a linux core for the geek in Paul and a geeky user base
who would worship him like wot we do.

Hi Paul -

I very much doubt that I will switch, and if I ever do it will
probably be to an Android OS, if StyleTap does a Palm emulator for
Android. Like you, I am happy with my current local setup (Treo
755p/Verizon). However, I'm curious about other possibilities. It
would be a very heavy lift indeed to get me away from pToolSet.

Hi Paul -

    I very much doubt that I will switch, and if I ever do it will
probably be to an Android OS, if StyleTap does a Palm emulator for
Android.  Like you, I am happy with my current local setup (Treo
755p/Verizon).  However, I'm curious about other possibilities.  It
would be a very heavy lift indeed to get me away from pToolSet.

Hi John:

When you make the switch, would you please post your Prexperiences?  For some
weird reason the Pixi looks friendlier for me (I like the always ready
keyboard).

Both I and pToolSet are very satisfied with the Sprint Centro.

/Paul

Thanks, Doug.

I haven't because I can't figure out how to sync the memos. So, I'm
using the Pre memopad, which will sync with Outlook memos.

Hi guys -  Has anyone tried running pedit or pToolSet on Pre with MotionApps
Classic emulator?  I suspect pedit would run fine, but pTS not.  Any experience?

OK, now I've taken it further.  One of the disadvantages of the
MemoToNote pScript is that it attaches the note to an untimed blank
event on todays date and you then need to manually put in the event
item text (if any) and assign the date and time.  The other pScript,
"pDateMemoNote" would leave you in the pDateTool dialog to select the
time and date (if you could get pDateTool working - any luck?).  Now,
the new MemoToNote, below, will transfer the memo text to an untimed
blank event on today's date, as before, but it will end by opening the
DateBk "Details" dialog, so you can assign time, date, and put in any
event item text you want.

{MemoToNote::
/xc Z
/xc C
/0x1C
/&script$[@@MTN1@@]}
{MTN1::
/&launch[@@DateBk6@@]
/xc N
/&control[@@No@@]
/&script$[@@MTN2@@]}

    I think I should provide a little more explanation since you are
new to pScripting.  What I have been sending you are moderately
complex chains of pScripts.  Unless you have read the pScripting
sections of the pedit manual (you should) it may not at all be clear
why a chain is needed.  Why not start with a pScript name, say
{SPdelete::, then put in all the pTokens and pExpressions in order,
and end it with the closing } bracket?  The answer is twofold - one,
there is a limit to the amount of info that the Palm OS will process
in one pScript chunk (the 55-byte limit), and two, there is a
hierarchical order in which the OS processes the pScript commands
which does not necessarily follow the order that you want them to be
processed in.  The only way to deal with these two limits is to
accomplish the overall task which the pScripts automate by linking
sequential pScripts together in a chain.  So, when pScript "A" has
done all it can (often determined by trial-and-error), you write in a
final instruction to now run pScript "B", and carry on the task.  This
looks like

{A::
/blah blah blah
/&script$[@@B@@]}

It does not matter where in your pScriptPad A and B are, separated or
not, nor in what order.  The command "/&script$[@@B@@]}" says to go
find and run B wherever it is.
