Sorry,
I sent this email directly to Justin instead of to the list.
So, here it is.

Justin,

have you already checked the setting for the encoding on your Palm?

You can find this in the KPilot-menue under settings -> general -> device (I
hope these are the correct names, in my german version it is Einstellungen ->
KPilot einrichten -> Allgemeine Einstellungen -> Gerät).

There you can find the option encoding, the list-box also contains japanese.
Perhaps this can help you. E. g. I am running utf-8 on my linux machine and
Windows Ansi on my Palm, so I chose cp1252 and everything works fine.
