Hmm.  So assuming you're saying that I'm screwed as far as expecting 
CW/Palm to handle it properly and that I have to write a conversion is 
there a source that could tell me what conversion is being done so that 
I can adjust for it?

I assume that I'm going to have to create text containing the ASCII
codes that correspond to the Mac characters for the accented characters
I want to end up with in my application.
