If you publish the flash to an exe with dimensions of 320 by 240 do you need to do anything else special to get it to run on a handheld?

Yeah, you do. Unfortunately, a handheld PDA running Windows PocketPC will not run a .exe file published from flash.

Standalone projector applications must be created using an extra compiler from Macromedia, “Standalone Macromedia Flash Player 6 for Pocket PC”

A more cost-effective, 3rd party alternative is available from Ant Mobile Software, “FlashAssist PRO 1.3” @ $200.00

There are probably other compilers out there, but these are the only ones I know of at the moment.

that's dumb that they make you buy the flash app and then an extra compiler, blah on macromedia.
