First of, the capplet is undergoing major surgery these days. So within
month or two, all this should be outdated.

Yes, this is the device port for your cradle, eg /dev/ttyS0 for com1
(/dev/ttyS1 for com2 soforth).

After you've typed in a port, click Try, this tilts the daemon and makes
it reread it's config. Now, you should be able to click the Get/Set
buttons to either get the userinfo from the pilot or set it.

See the README (in /usr/doc/gnome-pilot-*/) for more.

Thats me being smart and hooking up the help button, and being lazy and
not putting anything at the end.
