Help from those using palm sat software
Folks,
I cannot figure out how to upload new tle/txt in to my palm. I use the palm install tool but it puts the txt files on to the card and not the internal memory.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You need a .PDB palm database file. These are available on the PocketSat website and AMSAT.
Here is a link to the AMSAT file: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/amsat.pdb

I use the TLE to PDB command line tool from http://www.bigfattail.com/pocketsat/tools/tle2pdb.exe to convert the very same text files (ie. amateur.txt) that I use in SatPC32 to .pdb files for use with PocketSat. Once you've got a .pdb file, your Palm install tool should handle it correctly. The alternative is to find data already in .pdb format, as suggested.
