Being one of the authors of both PocketC and OrbForms, I have a very biased view. If you are looking for a RAD tool, OrbForms Designer is pretty fast (compared to other non-native compilers), and most importantly is very easy to use. It does not require a runtime, but your apps will start at ~55-60k. It is based on a subset of C, and adds simple objects and strings. It exposes the Palm API as a set of easy to use objects.
Shameless plug: We just released v2.0 of OrbForms, which includes some great new IDE features such as code completion (as you type, it can provide a pop-up list of the function, objects, or object members that match what you type) as well as calltips (when you type a function/method name, a tooltip is displayed with the arguments).

The reason I asked was because I found something called PocketC (www.orbworks.com) which is not ~ it uses events but you have to keep checking for them; e.g while...switch(event(0)) etc.Looking around I found quite a few RAD programs that seem suitable for me - anyone here have their opinions on; OrbForms (www.orbworks.com) PDA Toolbox (www.PDAToolbox.com) Visual Form Designer (www.vfdide.com) NS Basics (www.nsbasics.com) AppForg (www.appforge.com) Thanks for all the help,
