How do you get into hardcopy mode?  Is this a desktop version
of the viewer, or a compile-time option, or just something I've
missed?

While this is a fair answer, it might not be unreasonable to meet
halfway.  Under preferences, various keys and gestures can be 
bound to various functions.  

Do these functions have to be available at compile time, or would
it be possible to bind to a palmcall: for an arbitrary plugin?  To
let the user specify what data is sent to that plugin, at least as well
as they specify for export-to-memo?  

This could work not only with his dictionary, but also with the 
global  find, or with the calendar program.

Note:  I haven't looked at that piece of the code; if the answer is
"too hard for now", I won't argue, but I do figure it is worth 
asking.  One use for plucker is to gather entertainment schedules,
and it would be nice if we could say "Oh, yeah, I do want that one"
and paste it to the scheduler with an alarm.
