You know, sometimes I wonder if my brain works.

I read this email several times, and STILL I tried around a dozen time
to do this.  I almost sent an email saying "I can't copy record to the
Palm", and then, thankfully, my brain kicked in.

Been playing with this, and not getting a lot of love from the calendar.
I sync'd four times, and ended up with five copies of all my
appointments - in both the palm and in evolution.  It made the palm so
slow and unstable, that somehow - in my effort to remove all the
duplicates (here's where a list view of ALL records, with the ability to
select multiple records for removal, would have saved me three hours) -
I ended up with exactly the correct information in evolution's calendar,
but a completely empty palm calendar.  (here's where I kept trying to
copy to palm, duh)

The trouble is that syncing won't work either, since the palm is
convinced that it is up-to-date.  How can I force a "long sync" on the
calendar?  Do I do that by changing the pilot ID and "send to pilot"?

Well, the good news is that after the problems with the initial sync of
the address list, that is now working just fine.  Thanks.
