Note that if you want Agendus (on your Palm) and Time Matters (on your PC) to co-exist peacefully, you should set the data format of your contacts to INTELLISYNC, and NOT TimeMatters.
When the data format is set to "Time Matters," the contact is inserted in brackets in the front of the item description, which Time Matters then misinterprets into thinking the user is designating STAFF. TM then takes the first 3 letters of the contact's last name and fabricates a staff person with those initials.... Such that "[Jones, Davey] Dig up treasure chest" would be assigned to a non-existent JON staff member, and the description would not contain the contact.
On the other hand, when the data format is set to INTELLISYNC, Agendus embeds the contact info in the Palm NOTE field. Time Matters does not read/interpret or otherwise mutilate the contents of the note field, even though it can embed its own information there (e.g. case matter, etc.) AND, Agendus doesn't read TimeMatters' information in the note either, so the two live happily ever after.
This 'feature' is not otherwise documented anywhere on iambic or Datatxt sites.....but I've spent literally dozens of hours troubleshooting it and have confirmed this behavior.
