In those days, C was used mostly for back-end apps.  There was enough
disk space to afford logs and traces in response to error codes.  The
Palm environment is a different model.  I can live with the
ErrFatalDisplay.

As for DmQueryRecord(), don't believe the docs! :-)  So far, I've found
that DmQueryRecord() returns a 0 if the record was deleted or the index
out of bounds.  It's DmGetRecord() that will ErrFatalDisplay.
