Yes, you're close. :)
You can do something like that, and you could parse all the CSV data on
the Palm itself. However, to be Zen, it's better to actually parse your
data on the desktop and write it to the handlheld in a format it can just
use, without having to parse it. The desktop has a big beefy processor,
the handheld doesn't.
