I was under the impression that there was a finite set of db types. For
instance, there is 'data' or 'appl' or 'res'. Can you say 'dat1' and 'dat2'
instead? That's even easier than DmFindDatabase and DmOpenDatabase... Can
someone from Palm chime in on this one.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the purpose of the database "type". I
thought it was used exactly for this purpose: to distinguish between
multiple databases with the same creator. I have two databases in my
app, and I give them different types. Then I just use
DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator to open each one. Is this wrong? If not,
why would you give the same type to different databases?
