Make sure the 'files' conduit is enabled (Gnome Control Panel).
Start the PilotSync applet, under the applets/utility menu. I'm guessing
you already have this running if you're syncing with Evolution.
Grab a file(prc/pdb) with the mouse, drag it to the PilotSync icon, and
drop it on top of it. You may get a box asking or confirming which Palm
Pilot you want the program installed to. I'm not sure, it may only ask
you've setup more that 1 Palm Pilot.
It should install said file next time you Hot-Sync.
'gpilot-install-file' (has a man page) will also setup a file for
installation on the next Hot-Sync if you prefer the command line.
pilot-xfer wants you to install now (obviously), and I end up closing my
PilotSync applet or things get confused.
