Partly depends on the OS you are using. If Win XP or MacOS, then open Quick Install and copy or move the .prc file into that program. You can choose to have the .prc install into the Handheld or the SD Card, if you have one installed. A few programs won't work from the SD Card, but with most you'll just experience a slight delay as the program is accessed.

The next sync will install the .prc to the preferred location.

If you're running Vista, Quick Install doesn't work - but you can do right-click > Send to...> Palm Handheld device in that case. This will only install directly to the device and not the SD card though.

Right click also should be available to you in XP (and maybe MacOS), while you can also use a SD card reader/writer to move .prc files, too.
