Sorry, haven't checked this group in ages it seems.

Here are the nice instructions Pieter sent me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To edit hotpaw text in prc:

BACKUP YOUR PRC FIRST

Use RsrcEdit (resource edit)
(check website for info www.quartus.net
non expiring trial?)
see list of programs and databases.
search find prc name, click open.
You will see a list of resources.

taib is graphics
frm is forms
code is code ect.

scroll down.
look for tSTR is strings.
look near end of list for tSTR 2001
to right under reset/apply #name of your program,
select, click open,
You will see your program text.
to add text scroll down,
copy and paste text on end.
problem palm paste allow only 1k at time,
so you can copy only <1k bits at a time.
check program text still ok.
click done if finished.

tip:
use hackmaster (www.daggerware.com)
and switchhack (www.deskfree.com)
(check websites also for more info)
to switch easy between hotpaw and memos,
like they tell in the hotpaw manual somewhere.

With RsrcEdit you can see and edit all stuff in any prc/pdb.
open taib 1000 that is your prc icon on palm
see draw controls on left, you can now edit icon.
menu then choose 1 2 4 8 bit color icons
better leave codes data alone.
tFRM title select open to change title of prc
after preview click apps on silkscreen to get back
tver is version of prc
tAIN is name shown on menu
