Ah. I understand. I got an Android phone for Christmas. Nothing I've 
seen comes close to HandyShopper, so I'll probably be using two devices 
for a while. Fortunately, I have a WristPDA that I can more conveniently 
have my lists with me on. :)

Certainly! Once the file is on the card, you can use any card reader to 
view the files and make copies to your heart's content.
You'll find them in the card in the Palm/Programs/HandyShopper folder.

I think using the SD cars is the simplest when the device won't sync.
