DESCRIPTION

19       Connect  to  the Palm handheld and list the record information found in
20       the Palm Notepad application (found  on  OS4  and  newer  devices).  If

25        pilot-read-notepad allows a user running PalmOS 4.0 or later  to  read
26       the  data  stored  in the Palm Notepad application and extract the data
27       into images and convert them to Portable  Network  Graphics  (.png)  or
28       Portable Pixmap (.ppm) files.
