I took a quick look. It looks interesting.

Thanks



No problem! I Should also offer that you can install python on your
desktop machine and develop whatever on that. Then, when you're done, you
can easily move it to your palm for portable execution. You can go to
http://www.python.org for more details, including tons of documentation
and other links.

You can download using,
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.3.4/Python-2.3.4.exe and
http://starship.python.net/crew/mham...n32all-163.exe to get
python and Win32 specific extras, including an Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) with context help, etc.

If you do all that, keep in mind the current desktop version is 2.3.4 and
the palm version is a port of 1.5.2. So, some current language features
may not be available.

Have fun and good luck!

Cheers,

Greg
