The Zaurus addressbook app depends on an xml datafile, so I'm stuck with that format. I just want to to maintenence and data entry on the PC for ease of use vs typing on the Zaurus' tiny keyboard. I could just edit the raw xml file, then copy it to the Zaurus, but I'd like to have something a little spiffier... Jeff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
