I would really, really like to encourage Palm
to take out some of their automatic error dialogs
and let us have an API that really allows us to
check conditions. If we're calling a function
that's supposed to check on whether something
is ok or not, I expect that function to check
whatever it is and return the status to me so I
can take appropriate action. Period. The action
that Palm decides is what should happen may not
be what I want to happen.
