i've got very little experience in writing for the PalmOS, but i found it
quite easy, specially for this kind of program. i've only played with it
some time (wrote a clock...), and always using PalmOS apps (OnBoard C,
RsrcEdit and Qed). OnBoard C (a C compiler) compiles code written using
either Qed or the Memo app.
