What I've been doing is creating 24-bit color bitmaps in Paint Shop Pro,
and then importing them into bitmap families created in the PODS resource
editor.  The resource editor performs the necessary color conversions, and 
will also scale the image down if necessary.  The results are not always ideal,
but are at least good enough for rough drafts during the early development,
to fill up all the images in the bitmap family and check that things work on
different Palm models.

Thanks, Jim.  I'll have to try that.
