You can use pilot-addresses, from the pilot-link package, to read and write 
addressbook entries. The format of the file read/produced by pilot-addresses 
is:

"last","first","title","company","work","home","fax","other","email","address",
"city","state","zip","country","custom1","custom2","custom3","custom4","note","
0"

this is, the order in which the fields appear in the phonebook application, 
each value in double quotes, separated by commas. The "note" is the optional 
note you can add to each record. The "0" at the end, I suppose, is for marking 
it as non-private.

The command line you would use to write a file like this to the Pilot is:

pilot-addresses [-c category] -r file

To read the database from the pilot and write it to a file, use -w instead of 
-r.

The file can contain many records, one per line. To 

I hope this helps.
