Thanks again to everyone, especially Dennis. I think I will be keeping a close eye on this forum from now on.

You're quite welcome.
A couple of other things you might wish to do:
By default, Plucker tries to rebuild the Library list every time you open it. If you just have a few documents stored in RAM, this is not a problem. If you have a lot of documents on a card, this can be time consuming. (It takes about a minute on my 200mhz device with 2,800 books on a card.) Go to Preferences/Manual, and set Update list: to Manual to have Plucker only update the list when you tell it to.
Under OS5 on hi-res devices, Plucker can use custom fonts. (See Preferences/Fonts), and let you select different fonts for documents and the library list. An assortment are available.
By default, Plucker assumes you will use the Plucker Desktop to "pluck" web pages for later offline viewing, but it can handle local content as well. I have a lot of Plucker documents, converted from Project Gutenberg HTML, Baen Free Library Zipped HTML offerings, and other sources.
To make life easier, I use a freeware Windows tool from Rafael Fetzer called PDA Converter. PDA Converter is a GUI for the Plucker parser. You select the options you want, and PDA Converter generates the proper command line and calls the Plucker parser in a sub-process to do the conversion. (I use high compression, include images in full color, with thumbnails linking to a full copy, and assign the desired title and category when I create the Plucker file.)
PDA Converter can also produce Palm "doc" and zText files.
