Hey guys - thanks for the info.  I started playing PocketSmalltalk last
night...wow!  I'm new to the language but I think PST will force me to learn
it...it seems much easier and faster to write code for the PalmOS using PST
than C/C++ (after I learn the language, right? :) ), and since the authors
included the SYSTRAP functionality to let you call any of the Palm API calls
you aren't limited in what you can do with it.

Definitely...but it's exactly what I was looking for for the Palm...and I
can use my Linux box to run Squeak.

Thanks again,
