Ken,

Works great on my end, too. (although the number of memos returned is 
one more than the number Palm Desktop thinks are there--but I'm sure 
that's a function of an error in the AppleScript--I suspect in the line 
that increments the counter)

So now we know it CAN be done. Thanks so much everyone.  You guys are 
great--not only do you help with Rev scripts, you debug other people's 
AppleScripts!  Amazing!

Thanks again, everyone,

Marian
