That definitely should not happen if that line of the pScript reads
/xEpmt 7 MemoNote

what should happen is that pDateTool opens and "MemeoNote" is printed  
in the top line.  See below.

By "does a Phoenix" I take it you mean a spontaneous soft reset.  That  
definitely should not happen either.  Please do several things:

1) Look at your pMasterTool ESC and your pedit ESC characters.  If  
they are both the same character, change one of them (use a character  
you don't ordinarily type).  For PMT ESC, open the pToolSet module  
list (that *is* pMasterTool), and do menu/pMT1/pToolSet Prefs. For  
pedit ESC do pedit menu/Op/Preferences/General.
In both of these make sure the box to use ESC is checked "on" (if  
pMasterTool ESC is not on that would cause the '/7MemoNotestuff'  
problem).

2) Test other pToolSet modules.  If others also generate crashes,  
completely remove all the pToolSet modules and reinstall all of them  
fresh.  To do this, open the app called pToolZapper in your app  
launcher, tap "check all", select "no" in the "zap assoc prefs" line,  
and tap "Done".  That will remove all of pToolSet.  Then do a hotsync  
install of *all* the .prc in your pToolSet 8.14 folder.  Do not use  
the sub-folder "00pToolButtons".  If when you test the pToolSet  
modules only pDateTool misbehaves, remove it with pToolZapper and  
replace.
3) If (1) and (2) don't fix it, post a separate query to Paul.  It is  
rare to the point of zero for pToolSet itself to cause crashes. Such  
instances have always been traceable to interference by other  
background apps (hacks).

Very good.  With regard to the "{MemoToNote:" pScript, which evidently  
is working ok, it ends with your new DateBk memo open, rather than  
closing the note and showing the entry in Day View by tapping the  
"Done" button.  I did this because there was an exceedingly gnarly  
problem getting the pScript to do that final "Done" button activation.  
  I have now solved that with a rather cool little trick.  If you  
would prefer to have the pScript end with the DayView entry rather  
than the open note, replace your pScript with this one-

{MemoToNote::
/xc Z
/xc C
/0x1C
/&script$[@@MTN1@@]}
{MTN1::
/&launch[@@DateBk6@@]
/xc N
/&control[@@No@@]
/&script$[@@MTN2@@]}
{MTN2::
/&script$[@@MTN3@@]}
{MTN3::
/xc A
/xc P
/&varSet[$1,0]
/&script$[@@MTN4@@]}
{MTN4::
/&varAdd@[$1,1]
/&control[@@Done@@]
/&script$[@@MTN5@@]}
{MTN5::
/!/$f
/&ifAbort@[$$==1000]
/&ifAbort@[$1>=10]
/&script$[@@MTN4@@]}
