I have an interesting, though somewhat academic question.
Is it possible to write an application that is not loaded as an application, but
rather is stored as a database entry on the Palm, then when selected by a "host"
application, the "database-based" application runs? When it finishes, it would
launch the parent application with a custom launch code and the user would be
returned to where they started - sort of.
The problem I'm trying to solve is one of having hundreds of "applets" available
to be run on the Palm at one time. These programs are very small, and there are
potentially 1000's of them. It would be a shame to burn up 1000 creator ids for
these guys, yet I am intrigued by the idea of having each one a totally self
contained program.
I'd tell you what I have in mind for them to do, but then I'd have to kill you :).
