No-one seems to be interested in this, but in case any one else has the same problem I did, I eventually got the full instructions from SoftMaker (although it was like having teeth pulled)

OK. I give you a short explanation what happens and what should be done.
What the installer does, it extracts all files in the archive to either /home/QtPalmtop or, for sd cards, to /mnt/sd/QtPalmtop.
In the latter case, it puts symbolic links for all extracted files in /home/QtPalmtop.
You see only the files that are in /home/QtPalmtop. So if you have all files on SD or CF card, your Zaurus won't see them.
What you have to do is the following:
- You have to have the extracted files on your card. They should be put in /mnt/sd/QtPalmtop - else you have to modify the pathes in the example.
- You need a terminal/console/shell (depends on Zaurus/OS) and create a symbol link for tm in the bin directory.
- You have to copy the picture and the desktop file as well.
- You have to be root (on some OSes, you're not).
So, start your terminal and log in as root (su).
Create a symbolic link:
ln -s /mnt/sd/QtPalmtop/bin/tm /home/QtPalmtop/bin/tm
Copy the picture:
cp /mnt/sd/QtPalmtop/pics/tm.png /home/QtPalmtop/pics
Copy the desktop file:
cp /mnt/sd/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/tm.desktop /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications
If you reboot now, you should see the TextMaker icon in your application folder and you should be able to start it.
You may want to change the path for your templates as well:
Change the settings in Extras/Preferences/Files to the path on your card. This should be something like /mnt/sd/QtPalmtop/etc/TextMaker.
Of course the same applies to cf cards as well - just use /mnt/cf instead of /mnt/sd.
