Shadow and the Palm desktop in Vista

I was wondering, if I use Shadow in Windows to create and organize tasks, can I then export those tasks to the Palm desktop directly, that is without an actual Palm handheld involved?
    As you may know, CES Dewer has released Pimlicay, his new Java-based PIM application, and I am moving toward replacing my Palm T3 with my Vista-based Vaio UX handheld. At the same time I am now running a complex little project (writing/editing a bork) and want to use Shadow tostrack the progress of the chapters through the creation process. Hence my question.

Anita,

Thanks for the note.  While painful from a time perspective, I've 
converted everything.  It's not perfect; however, I think the single 
list, with a little "sticktoitiveness" , will work out fine.  Of 
course, I'm not down to one list; I have a work list, a "honey do" 
list, and a few other checklists for Christmas, grocery shopping, 
etc. ;).

The only problems I'm having relate to the desktop.  For some reason, 
I've lost access to the different Tags within my Errands set.  The 
Tags are still there on the handheld (with proper links), but I've 
lost the Tags on the desktop.  No big deal since my Centro is always 
within reach on the weekends.

Thanks again!

Todd
