By the way, serial access in Palm, like many other OSes, is actually quite simple. It's just like reading a file in windows. You just call a get function (can't remember the exact syntax right now) and tell it how many bytes you want to get. You can also check how many bytes are in the buffer and many other useful functions.

The hardest part about Palm programming is how anal it is about memory management. If you leak any memory or use a pointer where you should use a handle there is a good chance you will hit a fatal error.
