pilot-install-memo allows the user to write one or more files as a new memo or memos, respectively, onto the Palm handheld.
-c,
--category category
Install memo(s) to category defined by category. pilot-install-memo uses the Unfiled category as the default category if no category is chosen or if the specified category does not already exist on the Palm.
-f,
--file STRING
File containing the target memo entry. Append other filenames to install one memo per file.
-r, --replace
Replace all memos in the category specified by the -c category option.

Use the filename as the title for the memo. (Normally, the first line of a memo is used as the title if one is not supplied with the -t option).
-p, --portport

The Palm Device has a maximum length of 4,096 bytes (4k) on memopad entries, if you wish to retain the ability to edit the Memo (add/remove/change data within the memo) on the Palm itself. You can create a memo entry of 65,490 bytes in size (the absolute maximum) if you do not need to edit the memo entry any further on the Palm device itself. Any memo larger than 4,096 bytes and less than 65,490 bytes will not be editable on the Palm itself. Consider these memo entries "read-only".
This is not specifically a "bug", but a limitation in the PalmOS design itself.
We have an online bug tracker. Using this is the only way to ensure that your bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are resolved or closed.
