It seems that you are lauching the "Waba" version of BT747 which did also work on PC, but has a smaller interface and was oriented towards mobile devices like "Palm".

You should launch the desktop version.

You can try bt747_macosX_j2se.command or adapt it from:

#!/bin/bash
# The above line was removed once, but it was suggested to put it back in.
# Failing to find why it was removed, I did so, please tell me if you know
# why it should be there.
