Well, I was using BrainForest for many years (the desktop much more that
the Palm) and had several AppleScripts that helped me in converting the
outlines into HTML, LaTeX and other formats. But I found BrainForest
lacking in both support and ease of use so I skipped it when I switched
to OS X

Forget it ... you have to buy a PC also, CW9 for the Palm only comes for
windows. 

Personally, I just hope that I can get the definition of a PDB for an
outliner (or that Jeff Mitchell completes the Mac desktop of Shadow)
