OK.  I think that was it.  I looked in my CW8 directories for the Palm docs
and came across one called, "Palm File Format Spec.pdf".  I believe this is
the file that you described.

Anyway, just to be clear (if you don't mind)...I can make a binary file on a
Windows machine using simple C routines (i.e. fopen, fread, fwrite, etc).  I
can name this file with a .pdb extension and write the data to it in the
format described in the document.  Then I can transfer the newly created
.pdb file over to my handheld just like I do with any other .pdb?

Thank you for your time.
