What software/types of software can go onto the flash module? I have tried to put some things onto it (for ex, The Merck Manual) and have gotten a message saying that the Handspring would probably crash if I moved the software to the flash module. So I'm wondering what EXACTLY I can/can't put on it. A basic question, but it would help me out a lot to figure this out. Thanks!!

That warning message seems to come up any time you move a file to the RAM module, so don't worry about it.

Basically, programs are able to read from the Flash module, but cannot write to it. If you are using a program which just reads from files (e.g., using Peanut Reader to read documents) you're golden; if you have a program which tries to write to the database file (e.g., using QED to edit the documents you're reading with Peanut Reader), you are likely to have a crash.
