What's ITT? In the GPE mailing list archives I find: http://www.handhelds.org/hypermail/gpe/58/5886.html in which Andrew Hold describes a problem similar to mine. The file .gpe/ calendar is still present, and the contents seem to be there when I look at the calendar using more (at least, the ASCII strings I see look like strings that could be in the database.. I suppose next I should follow his example and use select * on it in sqlite (providing I can find out how to do this). He says gpe-calendar -e /dev/tty also shows his entries. -- hendrik
