Maybe I'm don't understand what you are asking. What do you mean by "the
data comes to the Palm device as a comma separated file"? The normal way to
store data on a Palm device is to use a database. The only way you could
have a database be a "comma separated file" would be to store a single
string of data with commas separating the fields, If you have done that,
then you just read 1 record from the db, then parse that record into fields
based on where the commas are.

That is no problem with a Palm database, which is just a collection of
records, each containing up to 64K of whatever you want to put there.
