From my point of view, the impact of that would be rather underwhelming.

Not quite. In scripting, | means both concatenation and the last one in a line is the target file. What you see
is literally all it does - there are no variables or loops, and conditionals are super limited.

My Q was what Zamujasa was saying
BUT this brings up a point: if I transfered a PDA file to a computer, would I then be able to send that PDA file using a thinkdos computer to other PDAs? If so, how would one go about doing that

You wouldn't. You can create your own cartridge by cherry picking apps from cartridges, and that's about it.

You can also create your own cartridge (slowly and painfully) by copying/pasting programs from a ROM cart to the PDA itself, then to a EEPROM cart and deleting the PDA copy.
Not really useful, since the number of PDA apps that are actually of general use are pretty small (though Robustris is always a nice 8u of free space I guess, if you want to copy Ticket Master or Health Scan)

Fancy new idea: Increase the usefulness of PDAs by allowing people to buy or download apps of their choice.
