Backing up/editing handyshopper, etc. on my mac

[flyboy]

Can somebody please help me. I would like to start using an outline program, or even Handyshopper more often on my clie, but I'm worried about not being able to back up all that valuable info. I haven't had any luck copying the individual handyshopper files (say to MS) with the clie file management software, whatever it's called because it says the files are locked.

Can anyone recommend a method for doing this, or suggest some outlining/list making software that I can read/edit on the mac that's a little more robust than the included todo app?

Thanks! fb

the handyshopper databases are backed up during syncs but are not normally editable on the mac. there was a program hs2edit which exported the handyshopper database into an excel worksheet.
