yeah, I know what you mean... I have a TI-83 graphing calculator
(www.ti.com) and have been thinking the same thing.
Check up in your reference manual to see if it has anything on its
protocols. My TI calculator uses an easy send and recieve variables, and
also transmitts strings that you could store ahead of time.
So, basicaklly, see how it sends information and then write up code for the
HB to interpret your PalmPilots signals
