Hello,

I need to access some information about PQAs....specifically custom icons 
and name strings.  The following line of code produces a list of PQAs 
which are installed on a Palm device:

  Boolean   foundPQAs;
                Word               numPqas;
                Handle     pqaDBList; // handle of SysDBListItemType items
                
  foundPQAs = SysCreateDataBaseList ('pqa ', 0, &numPqas, &pqaDBList, 
false);


Unfortunately, the SysDBListItemType name fields contain cryptic names 
such as "USWEST.pqa" instead of the expected "YellowPages" string which 
is displayed in the Palm OS launcher.  Also, the structures' BitmapPtrs 
contains pointers to my application's bitmap.  If I change the last 
parameter to "true", the name strings all become identical to my 
application's name.

Questions:
1. How can I obtain a BitmapPtr to the PQA's custom icon (as displayed in 
the Palm OS launcher)?
2. Likewise, how can I obtain the PQA's custom name string?

Thanks,
-Mike
