You can do one of two things:
(1) Write a script to call pia with the current AddressDB.pdb
(2) Create a CDE button that does it for you.
In either case you must backup your AddressDB using pilotmgr at each HotSync.
Both are attached.
AddressManager is the wrapper script for pia, it simply calls pia with the
path to your AddressDB.pdb
AddressManager.dt is the CDE front panel definition I use to put an Icon into my
front
panel for pia.
Hope this helps!
