     I just hit a major disappointment with Paco:  no way to import into
the Note Book!  The only import capability in Paco is into the Address Book!

     I had hoped to take some large text files and convert them into Note
Books: Zoomer tips-n-tricks, Solaris support info that would be handy to
have at my fingertips, that sort of stuff.  I envisioned all sorts of handy
notebooks being created by Zoomer users and being uploaded to AOL and/or
the net.  I imagined the Zoomer list itself being digestified into a notebook,
suitable for reading on your Zoomer on a long plane flight.  All sorts of
nifty stuff.

     Now I see that this is *impossible*!  Why was such a capability not
supported in Paco?  I'm not looking for fancy stuff.  I'm talking suck in
ASCII text, spit out generic notebook.  No ink, no fancy fonts, just 
pages of text.
