First of all, everything is binary in computers :) Sure you can write decimal numbers and read them back binary if using a numeric data type. This is because the numeric data are stored as binary numbers. As to the file storage, probably you don't need files at all. Consider database storage, which is generally accepted in Palm OS programming. Read Chapter 7 "Files and Databases" in the "Palm OS Companion". However, there are 6 chapters before that, which everyone should read first to start programming any operations with files and databases.
