Yes, it's not always feasable to return to *Exactly* where the user left
off.
If the were editing a record, they may want to bounce over to some other
app, maybe the calculator to do some math, the calander to check a date, or
the address book to get a number.
They might cut/sopy/paste that info to the clipboard, then jump back into
your app.
It would be nice for you to put them back in a place at least semi-close to
where they were. Maybe not editing, but open that record.
Pretty easy to do, just know where you are and if you can save. Dump the
stuff to the prefs in response to the appStop Event.
