The bottom line is this: a) for the general org files, you send them to the palm as text, and you edit them there with a suitable editor (e.g., PalmED). If org-mode files are kept under version control, life becomes easier. b) dealing with calendar is a more serious problem. c) there seems to be some (not a lot of) interest in these issues, but things are not smooth yet. (I am using my Palm a lot less now, so I am no longer even doing a) regularly). > On 19 January 2007 at 07:12, Frank E Harrell Jr wrote: > [...] > > | and I am used to its keybindings.

IIRC it was a documented problem related to a bug in semantic (?); maybe it's been fixed now. But what does emacs-snapshot-gtk provide you now (besides the pretinness) that you'd miss with 21-4?
