I'm interested by editing/erasing/copying/etc... code lines in *.prc file ( executable for Palm OS ). I tried to open prc files with text editors ( notepad and others ) but I cannot see code just symbols... So, I don't know... what I want to do is... possible? If it is, how can I do it? With an IDE? Without?
I would like to notify that I'm a beginner in programming, I looked for an answer to my question but I have not found, maybe because it's a too simple question. If it is, I'm very sorry!
Thank you!
PalmOS .prc files lend themselves very well to editing.
They're actually a database with tables of many types of resources, including but not limited to: bitmaps, preferences, strong, form definitions, alert definitions, icons, version numbers and executable code.
Anyway, depending on what you want to edit you'll have to approach things differently.
Apps to check out are:
Yes! You can edit an app right there on the device.
On Windows:

PilRC - use this to rebuild a .prc from component parts
Presdec (not tried this myself)

Obviously the majority of this stuff is 15+ years since abandoned. But, there's an active Palm-focused Discord where you can talk to other PalmOS users: https://discord.gg/YddKPpR
