Syntax editor for Palm OS?

Oper8r Al

Working construction and not being able to have a·computer,·or laptop with me at work. I was wondering if there was a Pbasic syntax editor available for the Palm OS. I end up with some down time between lifts and thought that it would be easier to trouble shoot my·code.·I am still learning how to program and thought I might·be able to save a step form·trying to decipher the chicken scratch·I jot down·in a·steno pad and then type into the editor on my home pc. If I could check the syntax and, then just cut and paste it, after it is downloaded from the palm it would be a big help to me and probably save a lot of frustration. I don't know if this is possible but thought that if anyone would have an answer, the people on the parallax forums would be the best place to ask.·

We haven't created such a program. The Palm OS, by the nature of the device, is tricky to develop for and as tantilizing as it sometimes seems we don't think it would make a good platform for an editor/programme (I think some are working to use it as programming device that simply downloads object files, but those too are external efforts). Me? Like you, I carry a pad with me at all times to write down notes. Just yesterday I was sitting in a film making (my hooby) class and pulled out my Stamp book to jot down the solution to a problem that had been on my mind for a few days. It's funny when solutions will show up.

Jon,

Thanks for the reply. I was guessing that there wasn't a program out there, but figured it didn't hurt to ask.
