Older versions of PC-File work on the Pro under the DOS Emulate Program.  I 
am not sure but I think that PC-File 4 works.  You can also get pfs File and 
pfs Report which were ported to the Pro used sometimes.  There is a fairly 
active TI Pro users group in the Maryland area.  Contact Ed Cameron at 
(301) 674-5671 for information.  The group meets monthly on the first 
Saturday at the Odenton, MD public library.

The most easily available information on the TI Pro is contained in the 
TIFORUM on the CompuServe Network.  You need to get into Section 8.  Don't 
read sections 1 to 7, they are the TI 99/4 people.  

Good luck.
