I should mention that I got the name wrong. It's "Pocket Quicken Connect".

My invoice said $20, but that was part of a promotional price ($80? I can't
remember) which included Quicken for Windows.

Cruising the manual, it looks extremely doubtful that you'd be able to extract
PQ data for use by other programs. It looks like there's a tightly integrated
process for transferring data and relating PQ accounts and budget categories to
QFW accounts and categories.
I had used Managing Your Money on a PC for about 8 years and dumped it this
year for Quicken, largely because of the prospect of being able to use PQ.
'Twas a painful transition last January, but so far I've been happy with QFW
even without PQ. Now if only there was a Quicken for GEOS :-)...
