[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Import/export from Memo app - key is data fields, not fonts and formatting

[Eric Sinclair]

To be clear Scott, the current version is 5.02?  My understanding was  
that the slowness was explicitly one of the bugs in 5.01 that was  
being addressed in 5.02.

Note: I have a small memo db, and haven't exploited the desktop  
component much yet.  Doesn't keep me from having wishlists, of course.
