Write a small command that grabs the name and address and then calls hyrolo-add
from the hyrolo.el file. If you learn how to create implicit button types, you

Yes, it looks if an entry is there and if so, updates the date and let's you
edit the entry manually.

It would be easy for a programmer or a smart person willing to study and try a
few things.
