Thanks Morpheus, and for the links.

I noticed also that PalmOS programming isn't a really widespread topic. I wonder if it's the same way in the PocketPC world?
Like you say, C is the way to go for (serious) Palm programming. I did consider it for my little exercise, but SuperWaba seemed like more fun and less intimidating. Maybe I'll give it a try later.
BTW, when I start to get this stuff figured out, I'm going to need ideas for a simple application to write that's hopefully useful also. Something along the lines of a Tip Calculator in complexity seems about right for my first "real" program. Any ideas?
