I don't believe that there is such a thing, but I would be happy to be
proven wrong on this.

I don't believe that is supported.   I suspect your best bet is to
setup a repeating event or task in the Palm Calendar and on the
occasion of the event/task create a duplicate of a previously made
project template.  I'm creating templates for a number of projects
(e.g. I just created a template for setting up a Debian Etch system as
an ISP-style mail server, can you tell I do a fair bit of system admin
amongst other things.).

I don't have the swiss cheese memory (very Quantum Leap!), but I do
have a problem with focus and tracking tasks, which is why I find
using a PDA with good PIM functionality so useful.  I've long used
PDAs as an outboard brain!
