Palm API reference: http://www.access-company.com/developers/documents/docs/palmos/PalmOSReference/ReferenceTOC.html
You'll need to install (with ports, apt-get, or what have you): m68k-palmos-gcc m68k-palmos-gdb (not required, but very useful) m86k-palmos-binutils palmos sdk pilrc PalmOS has its own C library, which makes it painfully frustrating to code for at times. The API reference is invaluable. Good luck.
