To write to the other Palm applications' databases one must include the db
header and link in the db module into one's source. So for the address
book, you would have to include AddressDB.h and link in AddressDB.c. This
gives you access to that app's database. This is the best way to ensure
that you don't mess up that application's database as you are using exactly
as it does. Unfortunately, you are duplicating code....
