Yes, I carry my Portfolio with me everywhere. It's replaced my log book
and DayTimer. I also use it as a "palmtop" terminal when I'm
travelling. I've got a bunch of MS-DOS software running on it,
including Tiny Basic and some Microsoft C programs I wrote for it.

You should be able to transfer information to and from an ST the same
way I transfer data to and from my Mac. Just use the Serial Interface,
along with the Atari terminal program. The program is a real jewel:
only 3K in size yet it supports XMODEM and even simple macros.
