Here is something from the old Palm FAQ:

3.9 - How can I debug beaming?
by Jay Hong
To debug beaming, use POSE. Please note that you will need a fairly fast
computer for this to be successful (500MHz+). Also note that I have only
used this process to beam apps, but it should also allow debugging.
1. Install the program you want to debug on POSE and on a real Palm
unit. If there are two different programs, load one onto the Palm
and the other into POSE. The one you're interested in debugging goes
into the POSE session.
2. Place the Palm in the cradle.
3. Turn off HotSync Manager.
4. Set POSE to use the serial port the cradle is connected to.
5. On POSE, go into MemoPad and enter shortcut.s This redirects IR
beaming to the serial port. Do the same on the Palm in the cradle.
6. Beam a database in launcher to ensure that beaming is working
correctly.
7. Debug beaming.
8. On Palm, go into MemoPad and enter shortcut.s to direct beaming back
to the IR port. Do the same in POSE.
If you lose track of whether or not IR is redirected, reset the device.
When a device comes out of reset, IR is directed to the IR hardware.

The trick is shortcut s. I have no idea if this also works on PalmOS 5
devices.
