One of my concerns is that I could corrupt data I have created on the Palm.  Is 
that a risk here?

As you have said, if I change the data on Address Manager, the changes will get 
mapped back to the Palm.  Given that I have data loss in transfering data from 
the Palm to the host, will it delete the same data on the Palm the next time I 
do a sync?  I have not seen this problem happen yet.  But need to know if there 
is a risk.
