...my Handspring Visor. Specifically, some type of word processing software or database software so I can transfer written medical/ambulance protocols to a Palm format. Of course, it would have to be Mac compatible...
Any thoughts?

Well, after countless hours of scouring the internet, I finally found a program called "iSilo" on palmgear.com. It has a Mac version that works pretty well for converting TEXT formatted documents into the Palm "pdb" format. The only problem I have found so far is that you can't edit the converted documents on your Palm...you have to do it in your text editor (simpletext works great), then re-save the document in pdb format, then re-hot sync.
Any others you guys know of?

Try an application called Wordsmith. You can edit text files on the PDA, and is Mac-friendly :>
Find it at:http://www.bluenomad.com/ws/prod_wordsmith_download.html

you could try this! if you don't compress the files you don't get the nag screen, to convert text files paste them into the notepad app in palm desktop, sync, then paste from notepad into qed, after the next sync, you'll get the .pdb files in your backups folder on your mac.
it's the long way but it's cheap and it works.

Documents to Go Professional Edition allows you to edit documents either on the desktop or on you Palm/Visor. I'm about to start fooling around with FileMaker Mobile too.

Thanks, all for the replies and suggestions on this subject! I scoured the web for freeware apps for this purpose, and I generally struck out. The apps you mentioned will work great, I just have to pick one... and pay the fee!

with QED (the app I pointed out) you don't need to pay anything, well, I never have, If you compress your files you get a nag screen every few minutes, you click the button and carry on, at no cost!

Oh, yeah. I did remember your suggestion, but forgot to put the "...except for eep!'s QED program..." disclaimer on that last post...I kinda generalized there. I do thank you, too!!
