BUGS

104   Known Bugs
105       The Palm Device has a maximum length of 4,096  bytes  (4k)  on  memopad
106       entries,   if  you  wish  to  retain  the  ability  to  edit  the  Memo
107       (add/remove/change data within the memo) on the Palm  itself.  You  can
108       create  a  memo entry of 65,490 bytes in size (the absolute maximum) if
109       you do not need to edit the memo entry any further on the  Palm  device
110       itself.  Any  memo  larger  than 4,096 bytes and less than 65,490 bytes
111       will not be editable on the Palm itself. Consider  these  memo  entries
112       "read-only".

114
115       This is not specifically a "bug", but a limitation in the PalmOS design
116       itself.

120       We have an online bug tracker. Using this is the  only  way  to  ensure
121       that  your  bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are
122       resolved or closed. Reporting bugs via email, while easy, is  not  very
123       useful  in  terms  of  accountability.  Please  point  your  browser to
124       http://bugs.pilot-link.org: http://bugs.pilot-link.org and report  your
