I think that the key words in that description is "NOTE: This
integration is a Windows-only thing; "

And from what I understand this is approximately the same or more steps
that is needed for a future version of Shadow desktop.

Exporting/importing from a Palm outliner to OO could be done in
following ways:

1   Have a Mac desktop application that can read the outline and
    export to a format OO knows (= future version of Shadow)

2   Have a Mac desktop application that can be controlled using
    AppleScript (= BrainForest)

3   Make OO able to read the PDB file for a certain outliner

4   Write an application that understands the Palm outline format
    and that can export/import to a format OO knows

5   Mac desktop application with plain text import/export


In my work with MPC <http://www.mootjelitt.com/mpc.html> I've tried to
get the defintions for a couple of the outliners but I haven't been able
to get it. So currently my best hope is Shadow ... since I have an early
alpha on my disk.
