Difficult, because Palm Desktop is one of the worst scripting implementations around. I would not try it, and I've written dozens of scripts for Entourage, Emailer, and Outlook Express. There might be some way you could map the completed date to a custom field in Entourage, and then use an Entourage script (fairly simple) to copy the date to the due date field after you import it.
