I know you're a student and all, but it's the best 30 bucks you'll ever
spend on this subject (and maybe it's in your library)... and it has a
chapter precisely on talking to the serial port and the example given is...
a GPS! If your library comes up with the CD that originally came with the
book, you'll have the code ready to cut and paste.
Anyway, the Kernigan & Ritchie of PalmOS is (still):

O'Reilly Publishers: Palm OS Programming: The Developer's Guide, 2nd Edition
by Neil Rhodes & Julie McKeehan

BTW, there's no such thing as "simple source code" around here, the infamous
"Hello World" app is 120 lines of C. It's not really that bad, but it's a
different mindset if you're used to "typical" Delphi, Visual Studio or
DreamWeaver IDE's and making apps for PC's or the Web.

Then, read the 3-4000 pages of PDF's available from www.palmsource.com AND
the 77,392 (make that 77,393) messages in this forum for clarification of
what's described in the aforementioned official documentation and you're
ready to go!!

Take heart, 44,000 developers can't all be wrong...

<disclaimer> the above contains exaggerations, sarcasm and lies (except
about the GPS part), so don't anyone GYPIAT... </disclaimer>
