My PalmPad does fine turning things on and off as long as I am using the numbered buttons. But the all on and all off button doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

The HR12A PalmPad does not have any All Lights On or All Units Off buttons.
The blue up and down buttons are Bright and Dim.

Are you thinking of a different X10 remote.
If so get the part number and let us know.

There is no X10 All ON command. Closest is an All Lights On that will not turn on Appliance Modules just Lamp Style Modules.
The All Units Off will turn everything Off.
The rarely used All Lights Off would turn off Lamp style devices.

You can create an "all on/off" macro in AH Pro if you have that and assign the macros to be triggered from the desired buttons on the remote.

That sounds great, how do you do that? Set a Macro to be triggered from a button?

Also, it seems that the PalmPad doesn't work with fluorescent lights into an appliance module. ( PAM02).  Are there any remotes that work with those? (It turns them on, then quit working).  I read that the WS12a shouldn't be used to control fluoro/Appliance module, but it said nothing about the Palm Pad.

Thanks for any info.

A Palm Pad will control any X10 module attached to the powerline (Lamp Module, Appliance Module, Wall Switch module, etc).

The Palm Pad (and Slim Line Switch, key chain remotes, motion sensors, etc) transmits a RF signal to a tranceiver (TM751, CM15A, RR501) which then converts the signal to PLC (power line carrier) and puts on the homes powerlines where it gets to all the plugged in or wired in modules. You are correct that two wire wall switch modules (WS12A, WS467, etc) can not control flourescent lights. It is what you have actually coupling power to the light that can be the limiting factor, not the Palm Pad.
