I have a couple of tips to share with anyone using who wants to use this plugin to get their calender on to a palmos device. First let me be clear that this is a one way capability as far I can see.

To export the calender in a valid format for the palm desktop, you must specify "separate items for each occurrence" in the plugin options, and provide a date range. Otherwise the desktop import returns an error.

When the calendar is imported to the palm desktop duplicates will be created. I have been deleting the palm desktop calendar manually prior to importing my latest vcs export in order to eliminate duplicates. I have tried some palm duplicate record deleters, with no luck.

The primary objective for me is to get my calendar from lightning to my treo. Importing the vcs file to palm desktop (v6.2.2) ultimately allows me to sync the events to my phone. It is far from ideal, but is the only way I have found to get my calendar events from tbird/lightning to my treo. Hats off to teester for making this possible!
