That is the approach we did with out applications. There is a full
database management dialog in the application to handle DBs with the same
creator ID as the app. It works out well. Most of all, you can then just
list DBs that your applicaiton works with an not just everything on the
Palm. The APIs for fishing through DB listings work out great with this
OS. Most of all, it give your more mindspace in the user then having them
flip back to the OS UI.
