I'm completely new to programming for the Palm OS. I'm a decent C++ coder
but don't really code in C not in a long time since school. So that's my
experience.

Here's what I want to do. I want to take a text file on my PC, parse some
data out of it then send that data as a list of commands to a piece of
hardware connected to the serial port on my Palm.

Should (could) I send the entire text file (these are smallish files), to
the palm and parse the commands out of the file there? So that when I sync
all I need to do is to transfer the file intact back and forth? Or do I need
to write a conduit to parse only the commands, into pdb format and transfer
them and then on sync the conduit will need to know how to translate and
update the file? For transferring an entire file what documentation should I
look to read?

I'm slogging through the documentation and have a long way to go I'm just
trying to figure out the best way to start thinking about this.
Thanks,
Jo
