Re: Palm PDA <--> as/400

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

What type of markup language does a palm use?  If it's WML
or HDML, then you can use eRPG.

If you want to download a simulator, they're available out
there.  Let me know know if WML is the way you want to go
and I can help from there.  It's going to be a section in my
new book.
